Categories     Salad     Blender     Leafy Green     Tomato     Backyard BBQ     Tuna     Corn     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Sour Cream     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the dressing
1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice plus additional to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped drained sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup packed fresh coriander
10 cups loosely packed mesclun (mixed baby greens, available at specialty produce markets)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 cup cooked fresh corn (cut from about 2 ears)
two 1-inch-thick tuna steaks (about 1-1/2 pounds) olive oil for brushing the tuna nasturtium blossoms for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a blender blend together the garlic, the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the sun-dried tomatoes, the plum tomatoes, and 1/4 cup water until the mixture is smooth and with the motor running add the oil in a stream. Add the sour cream, the coriander, the additional lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and blend the dressing until it is combined well. (The dressing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the dressing return to room temperature.)
  • In a large bowl toss the mesclun with the tomatoes and the corn and divide the mixture among 4 plates. Brush the tuna on both sides with the oil, season it with salt and pepper, and grill it on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until is cooked to the desired degree. Let the tuna stand for 3 minutes and cut it against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide the tuna slices among the salads and pour about 1/4 cup of the dressing over each serving. Serve any remaining dressing separately and garnish the salads with nasturtium blossoms.

Time 25m

Yield 6 appetizer servings or 4 entrees

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 ounces tuna belly or fluke, sliced diagonally with the grain as thinly as possible
3/4 pound fennel bulb
3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, including a bit of green ( 1/4 packed cup)
3 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped spearmint
Fine sea salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

13 ounces Tangerine or yellow tomatoes
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
3 ounces mesclun, washed and dried
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Put the fish slices in a large bowl. Pull off and discard the two tough outer layers of the fennel bulb. Cut off and discard the stalks. Cut out the tough core; cut the bulb in half and then across in paper-thin slices. Add the fennel and the scallion slices to the fish. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, the chopped mint and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently with the fish. Cover and set in a chilled place for 10 minutes, no longer.
  • Set aside 36 of the tiny currant tomatoes. Put the rest, along with the pieces of Tangerine tomatoes, through a food mill set over a 2-quart stainless-steel bowl. In a small bowl, mix the sherry vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon of cumin and minced garlic. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil until emulsified. Whisk into the liquefied tomatoes. Add more cumin if needed and sea salt to taste.
  • To assemble, divide the Tangerine tomato coulis among six 10-inch dinner plates, making a neat pool on the bottom of each plate. Mix the mesclun with the marinated tuna, adding 3 tablespoons of the sherry vinegar or to taste.
  • Divide the tuna salad among the plates, putting a mound in the center of each. Near the edge of each plate, make a border of 6 evenly spaced currant tomatoes.

TUNA-TOMATO SALAD



Tuna-Tomato Salad image

This was something I made up while living on a student budget in Paris, France. This is another example of how the greatest things that come out of the kitchen are not a result of planning. I just looked around at what I had in the cupboard, put them together and it worked! It is a great starter or side dish. One rule though...you MUST add the blue cheese! It is what brings everything together. I kind of think of this as the French version of a caprese salad.

Provided by dk683

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium tomatoes, sliced
50 -100 g canned tuna
2 tablespoons blue cheese
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small lemon, juiced
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Arrange the tomato slices on a plate.
  • Take the tuna out of the can and arrange on top of the tomato slices.
  • For the dressing: If you buy tuna packed in oil, use a few teaspoons of that from the can and add the lemon juice. Otherwise use any vegetable oil or even olive oil, (vegetable oil is obviously more budget friendly) No need to add salt because the cheese is plenty salty.
  • Crumble the blue cheese on top of the tuna and tomato. I used Roquefort, which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! But any strong blue cheese will work.
  • Dress the salad simply with the lemon and oil and sprinkle over the thyme and pepper.
