Time 4h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 medium tomatoes, halved and seeded
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
7 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped tarragon
1 quart water
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large onion, peeled and sliced very thin
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
6 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 pound loin first-quality tuna, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the tomatoes, preheat the oven to 280 degrees. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the thyme, sugar, half of the garlic and salt and pepper. Bake for 3 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, to prepare the onions, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. Toss with the olive oil and set aside.
  • When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, coarsely chop them. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, tarragon and remaining garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • To make the tuna, combine the rosemary, garlic, poppy seeds, cracked pepper and salt. Roll each piece of tuna in the mixture until well coated. Heat the oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear on all sides until browned on the outside but medium rare in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from pan and cut each piece across into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Divide the onion mixture among 4 plates. Place the tomato mixture over the onions. Top with tuna slices, season with salt and serve immediately.

This recipe was a disaster! The tuna was overcooked and the tomatoes were burnt. I will not be making this recipe again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I will use less chili pepper.

I was skeptical about the sweet and sour onions, but they were surprisingly delicious. They added a nice contrast to the savory tuna.

The oven-dried tomatoes really make this dish. They add a tangy sweetness that pairs perfectly with the rich tuna.
