Tomato With Fresh Tuna Herbs And Lemon Gelee Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, parsley and garlic. Sauté until onion is tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaf. Cover and cook until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before continuing.) Discard bay leaf. Mix in torn basil. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna and cook until golden and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer tuna to platter. Spoon sauce over tuna. Garnish with basil sprigs.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Set aside for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
• Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Stir the fresh herbs into the tomato sauce.
• Grill or broil the tuna about 4" from the heat, turning once, until charred outside and still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer the tuna to a large platter and cut into thick strips. Thop with half of the tomato suace and pass the remainder.

Steps:

• In a deep skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes. Add the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the wine. Cover and cook for a few minutes or until tender. Add the anchovies and remaining wine and evaporate until reduced by half.
• Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and simmer, over very low heat, uncovered while you start the rice and carrots.
• When the rice and carrots are almost done, add the tuna to the tomatoes, cover and simmer 2 to 3 minutes just to warm through (you want the interior rare or the dish will taste as if you used canned tuna).
• Uncover the skillet, add the capers and black olives and adjust the seasoning. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil. Serve over rice and carrots and garnish with pine nuts.

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes in boiling salted water for 30 seconds. Remove tomatoes and shock them in an ice bath. Peel tomatoes, reserving 1/2 of 1 of the tomatoes. Dice the reserved tomato and set aside.
• Using a blender or food processor, puree the tomatoes, the celery and the cucumber until mixture has reached a liquid. Strain puree through a fine mesh strainer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cayenne, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and hot red pepper sauce. Chill finished tomato soup until cold.
• In a small to medium sized mixing bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and grapeseed oil. Add the tuna, the reserved diced tomatoes, capers, shallots, parsley, and chives, mixing all ingredients together. Taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Set aside in a cold place. Using 4 small chilled bowls, place equal sized towers of Ahi tartar in the center of each bowl. Whisk or blend the chilled soup and pour about 2 ounces of soup around the tower of tartar, garnish with a sprig of parsley or caviar. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Using knife, make 9 slits in sides of tuna. Fill each with 1 clove, 1 coriander seed, and 1 garlic sliver; sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat oil in ovenproof pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 8 minutes; push to side of pot. Add tuna and sauté until brown on all sides, about 12 minutes. Scatter tomatoes, oregano, and remaining garlic slivers around tuna. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour vinegar over fish.
• Bake tuna uncovered until thermometer inserted into center registers 145°F for medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Transfer tuna to platter. Spoon tomato sauce over. Cool to room temperature. Slice tuna thinly and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry gently for 7 mins or until softened and turning translucent. Add 350g of the tomatoes, the pasta and veg stock to the pan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should have broken down and the pasta will be just cooked.
• Add the remaining tomatoes and bubble uncovered on a medium-high heat for 5 mins or until the liquid has reduced. Gently fold through large flakes of tuna, the mascarpone, parmesan, capers, lemon zest and parsley as well as salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Place a lid on the pan and leave to sit for 5 mins before serving in deep bowls.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. each of kosher salt and pepper, then whisk in oil in a slow stream until well-blended.
• Gently toss tomatoes and herbs with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic.
• Season with salt and let flavors blend for two hours.
• Just before grilling or pan-searing the tuna steaks, add the herbs to the tomato mixture.
• Brush tuna steaks with olive oil and grill or pan-sear according to thickness.
• Top with the tomato-lemon sauce.
• This is scrumptious served cold the next day!
