TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON
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.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Tuna Steaks: Opt for thick, center-cut tuna steaks that are about 1 inch thick. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark meat, as they tend to be drier and less flavorful.
- Seasoning the Tuna: Before cooking, season the tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings of your choice, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cooking the Tuna: Sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Avoid overcooking the tuna, as it will become dry and tough.
- Choosing the Right Tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are firm and have fewer seeds.
- Cooking the Tomatoes: Sauté the tomatoes in olive oil with garlic, onion, and herbs until they are softened and slightly caramelized. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Assembling the Dish: Place the cooked tuna steaks on a bed of lemony tomatoes and onions. Drizzle with the pan juices and garnish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley.
