Grilled Tuna With Peppers And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• First make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the corn. Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife. Heat a large heavy-based skillet or frying pan without any fat over high heat until almost smoking. Add the kernels and dry-roast until tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them until the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 minutes. Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cool so the skins loosen. Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds. Dice the flesh.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil. Heat, stirring, until hot. Take from the heat and keep warm.
• Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or grill. Broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill until done to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning. Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Place tuna steaks and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill for medium heat. When coals are very hot, scatter a handful of hickory or mesquite wood chips over them for flavor.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Season tuna with salt and pepper, and cook on the preheated grill approximately 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter, and drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush both sides of each tuna steak with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side for rare. Saute onions and garlic in 2 tablespoon olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley and capers and simmer until tomato juice evaporates. Season to taste. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish combine the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Add the tuna and coat well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the tuna from the marinade and grill over white coals with the tomato and onion slices. Grill the tuna until browned on the outside but still pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Grill the tomato and onion slices until lightly charred, about 5 minutes per side.
• Cut the tuna in half lengthwise and then across into thin slices. Quarter the tomato slices and cut the onion slices into large dice.
• When ready to assemble, divide the tomatoes and onions among the pizzas. Top with the tuna slices and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Use on rosemary-olive crust.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice, 4 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, garlic and ground pepper in a shallow dish. Add the tuna and turn to coat well on all sides. Let marinate for 1 hour, turning tuna from time to time.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Brush the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over both sides of the pepper halves. Grill or broil the tuna and peppers until the tuna is charred on the outside but still pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side, and until the peppers are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes per side. Divide among 4 plates, season the tuna with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Steps:

• prepare a charcoal grill or preheat broiler.
• place the tuna on a flat dish and spoon 1 tablespoon oil over it.
• sprinkle with salt and pepper, red pepper flakes and thyme and spread well into the steaks.
• cover with plastic wrap and let stand at least 15 minutes before grilling heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet.
• add the capers and cook briefly over medium high heat.
• add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes, keep warm.
• if using a grill, rub the rack lightly with olive oil.
• place the fish on the grill and cook for 3 minutes, then turn and cook for antoher 3 minutes for rare.
• if you wish the fish to vew more well done, cook longer on each side.
• if broiling place in pan and broil for 6 minutes for rare, turning once.
• remove fish and cut it into thin diagonal slices.
• to serve, divide the tomatoes among 4 warm plates.
• place the tuna slices on top and sprinkle with basil or parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put in a roasting tin to heat up. Put the tuna in a shallow dish with half the oil, two-thirds of the garlic and leaves from 1 sprig of thyme. Leave to marinate while you cook the veg.
• Put the potatoes, peppers, onion and chilli into the roasting tin with the remaining oil, toss to coat, then roast for 20 mins. The potatoes should be tender or very nearly there. If not, give them another 5 mins (the cooking time can depend on the variety of potato). Add the remaining garlic and thyme to the pan, let them sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, then cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has reduced a little. Season to taste.
• With a few mins to go, heat a griddle or frying pan, wipe most of the garlic marinade off the fish with kitchen paper, season, then sear for 1 min each side for medium or longer if you prefer. Serve on top of the veg.

Steps:

• To make marinade mix together olive oil, garlic, basil, sweet peppers (red and green), and tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Marinate (dredge steaks and get marinade on both sides) tuna steaks for up to 6 hours in the refrigerator.
• Grill for 4 minutes or less per side, depending on how you like them. Steaks should be firm with pink in the middle. If you prefer steaks to be more rare, grilling time should be 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
• Note: Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the grill. Check the doneness of the fish by making an incision with a knife and checking the color in the middle.
