Spaghetti Al Cartoccio - (Spag Cooked in a Bag) image

This sounds so good! Posting here to keep safe until I have some good seafood on hand. From Terry Durack, who also suggests turning it Asian by subbing hokkien or udon noodles for the spag, and instead of the tomato sauce a quick stir fry of garlic, chili and ginger, with a dash each of fish sauce, white wine and sweet chili. Mix with the seafood, put in the bag and bake 15 mins. So there's 2 recipes : )

Tips and Conclusion

To achieve the best results when preparing grilled tuna in foil, consider these tips:

  • When selecting tuna steaks, look for those that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are gray or have brown spots, as these may indicate that the fish is not fresh.

  • Serve the grilled tuna immediately. This will ensure that the fish is at its best flavor and texture. You can serve the tuna with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • In conclusion, grilling tuna in foil is a simple and delicious way to prepare this healthy fish. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and succulent dish that everyone will enjoy. Grilled tuna is a great source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. It is also a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides and sauces. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled tuna in foil a try.
