Tuna Club And Peppers Recipes

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:

• For the roasted red pepper sauce, in blender container combine salad dressing and half the roasted red sweet peppers; process until nearly smooth.
• For tuna filling, chop remaining peppers. In a bowl combine chopped peppers with tuna, corn, and 1/4 cup of the roasted red pepper sauce.
• For each club sandwich, spread two slices of toasted bread with tuna filling, layer with lettuce leaves, stack the two slices, then top with a third slice of toast. Cut in half diagonally. Serve with remaining roasted red pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Break up the tuna in a medium bowl. Stir in the cucumber, olive oil, mustard, scallions, dill, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay the bread on a work surface and spread about 1/4 of the tuna mixture on 4 of the slices. Top with avocado slices and lettuce. Lay the tomato slices on the 4 remaining pieces of bread; season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Close the sandwiches, pressing each one together slightly. Serve.
• Alternatively serve them open faced to use less bread.

Steps:

• Start to cook the bacon so that it becomes crisp. Meanwhile combine the mayonnaise with lemon juice, garlic, turmeric and ground cumin and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pan grill the bread, just until dried out or toasted; pan grill the tuna, only 3 minutes a side, or until rare.
• Remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
• To assemble, spread each slice of bread with mayonnaise, on one side only. Slice the tuna into thin diagonal pieces. Set some arugula on bottom of bread, then top with bacon, peppers and tuna and bread, mayonnaise side down; repeat and finish with third slice of bread; repeat for the other sandwich.

Steps:

• Toss the pepper and the chile with the vinegar and a big pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the celery into 1/4-inch dice.
• Add the celery, tuna with all of its oil and chopped parsley to the peppers. Toss until the tuna flakes into bite-size pieces and everything is well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Prepare gas grill for cooking over direct high heat.
• While grill heats, cut peppers lengthwise into quarters, discarding stems and seeds. Trim ends so that quarters lie flat.
• Sprinkle tuna all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook tuna and peppers on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until tuna is pink only in center and peppers are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes total (peppers may take longer than tuna). Transfer tuna and peppers as cooked to a serving plate.
• While tuna cooks, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in capers and parsley.
• Serve tuna topped with peppers and caper vinaigrette.

Steps:

• For salsa, in a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside., Rub tuna with pepper. On four metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread red peppers, tuna and mango., Place skewers on greased grill rack. Cook, covered, over medium heat, turning occasionally, until tuna is slightly pink in center (medium-rare) and peppers are tender, 10-12 minutes. Serve with salsa.

Steps:

• Make aioli: Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic and salt in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream through the feed tube until all the oil is absorbed and the mixture has the consistency of mayonnaise. Add pepper and mix 10 seconds. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
• Combine 4 cups water, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf and peppercorns in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the tuna pieces and simmer until they are barely cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the cooked tuna from the cooking liquid to a bowl using a slotted spoon. While the fish is still warm, flake it into small pieces with a fork or your fingers. (The fish firms up as it cools and will not flake as nicely.) Cover loosely and let cool.
• Crush the fennel seeds between two sheets of waxed paper; dry fry in a small skillet until fragrant. Place in large bowl; add 1/2 cup aioli, the red and yellow peppers, onion, herbs and salt and set aside.
• Mix the flaked tuna into the fennel mixture. Combine well and taste for seasonings, adding salt, pepper and lemon juice as needed. (The tuna salad can be made ahead to this point without the herbs and refrigerated until the next day; stir in the herbs just before using.)
• Spread a slice of sourdough bread with the aioli, then with a spoonful of the tuna salad. Top with a few leaves of the arugula and one slice of bacon. Repeat with a second slice of sourdough. Stack one layer on top of another and finish by topping with a third slice of sourdough. Repeat to make three more club sandwiches. Slice each sandwich into halves or thirds and secure each piece with a toothpick.
