Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h5m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts cooked tuna

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pounds fresh tuna fillets
Sea salt
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 to 3 sprigs fresh oregano
2 to 3 sprigs fresh marjoram
Extra virgin olive oil, to cover

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • In a baking dish just large enough to hold the tuna in 1 layer, place the tuna and sprinkle generously with the salt on both sides. Add the garlic, oregano and marjoram, then add enough olive oil to completely cover the tuna. Cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Cook until the tuna is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and set on a rack to cool completely. Transfer the tuna, with enough oil to cover, to jars, and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 months in advance.
  • Alternatively, tuna may be transferred to sterile mason jars and filled with olive oil within 1/2-inch of the top and processed in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, cooled, and stored at room temperature for up to 6 months. Jars may also be refrigerated for up to 6 months.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

PASTA WITH TUNA AND OLIVES



Pasta With Tuna and Olives image

If you want to make a complete meal of this, you can add a green vegetable to the mix (see the variation below). I like to use fusilli because I like the way the tuna gets lodged in the twists of the corkscrews, but other types of pasta, such as penne or spaghetti, will be just fine.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 6 1/2-ounce can water-packed light (not albacore) tuna, drained
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fresh tomato sauce or a good prepared marinara sauce
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or slivered fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup pitted imported black olives, such as kalamatas, cut in half or into quarters lengthwise
3/4 pound fusilli, penne, farfalle, or spaghetti
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. In a large pasta bowl, break up the tuna. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, and remove from the heat. Add to the tuna. Add the parsley or basil, and mix together.
  • Add the tomato sauce to the pan, heat through and season to taste with salt and add pepper and the red pepper flakes if using. Stir in the olives.
  • When the water for the pasta comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, until firm to the bite, following the cooking instructions on the package but checking the pasta a minute or two before the indicated time. Remove 2 tablespoons of the cooking water and mix with the tuna.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain and transfer to the bowl with the tuna. Add the tomato sauce with the olives, toss everything together, and serve. Pass the Parmesan at the table.

Tips:

  • To make the mousse as smooth as possible, use a food processor or blender to blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mash the ingredients together with a fork, but the mousse will not be as smooth.
  • Be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the mousse, otherwise the mousse will be too watery.
  • If you want a more flavorful mousse, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture.
  • Serve the mousse immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
