TOMATO TONNATO



Tomato Tonnato image

"Essentially tuna salad put into the blender until it liquefies" is how Melissa Clark described tonnato sauce back in 2012, when she brought this recipe to The Times, with the caveat that "it tastes much better than it sounds." The method is as simple as can be: The sauce is whipped together in a blender (though a food processor would also work), then spread over some fresh tomatoes. It's the best kind of summer meal - fresh and seasonal, easy and packed with flavor.

TONNATO SAUCE



Tonnato Sauce image

I was probably in my early twenties when this sauce first appeared on my culinary radar as 'vitello tonnato.' At the time, a plate of cold, thinly-sliced poached veal dressed with a chilled, runny tuna sauce didn't make a lot of sense, but I tried it anyway, and have been a fan ever since. I don't often serve it with the traditional veal, but ironically that's the only thing I don't serve it with. Tonnato sauce is tremendous as a spread and equally impressive as an all-purpose, all-world dip.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium shallots, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
4 fresh sage leaves
1 cup dry white wine or water
1 5-to-6-ounce can light tuna packed in olive oil, drained, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil

1/3 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
4 ounces baby arugula or mixed field greens (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium low; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the shallots and carrot to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sage and wine and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet along with the tuna and capers. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 150, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, discard the sage and transfer the remaining contents of the skillet to a blender. Add the reserved tuna oil, the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; puree until smooth.

1 (6-to 8-ounces) can light tuna packed in olive oil (preferably Italian)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup drained capers, divided
4 flat anchovy fillets
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Purée tuna with oil from can, mayonnaise, olive oil, 3 tablespoon capers, anchovies, lemon juice, and water in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Coarsely chop remaining tablespoon capers. Toss hot linguine with sauce, arugula, and capers. Thin with some of cooking water.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna packed in brine, as it can be too salty.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Arugula, lemon juice, and capers all add a bright, fresh flavor to the sauce. Be sure to use the freshest ingredients you can find.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Chill the sauce before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with a variety of accompaniments: Tonnato sauce is delicious served with boiled potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Tonnato sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your next meal. Whether you are serving it with tuna, chicken, or vegetables, you are sure to enjoy this delicious sauce.
