Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 crushed clove garlic
1 red pepper, seeded and cut in julienne strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fresh tuna steak, approximately 1 1/2 inches thick, weighing 1 to 1 1/4 pounds
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup pitted black Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon drained capers, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel

Steps:

  • Use a heavy, lidded saute pan, large enough to hold the tuna and vegetables comfortably. Over medium-low heat, saute the onion slices, garlic and julienned red pepper strips in the oil until the vegetables are soft.
  • Dry tuna steak. Push vegetables to edge of pan and turn heat to medium-high. Quickly brown tuna on both sides. (Add more oil if needed.) When tuna is nicely browned, add wine and let it come to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover pan and steam tuna in wine for 8 to 12 minutes, to desired degree of doneness.
  • Add olives, capers and shredded peel and stir to mix with vegetables.
  • Remove fish and place on a warm platter. Distribute vegetables over and around fish. Turn heat to high and rapidly boil down the juices in the pan until they are reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons of syrupy glaze. Add to the fish and serve immediately.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit too complicated and time-consuming.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I might have overcooked the tuna.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste.

I found that the tuna was a bit dry. I think I might try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of fish. I think salmon or halibut would also be delicious braised in white wine.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but this dish changed my mind. The braising process made the tuna so tender and flavorful, and the white wine sauce was the perfect accompaniment.

This braised tuna dish was an absolute delight! The combination of white wine, garlic, and herbs created a flavorful and aromatic broth that perfectly complemented the tender tuna. I especially enjoyed the crispy skin on the tuna, which added a nice
