Tuna is one of my favourite fish and I am always pleased to find new ways of cooking it . Here’s a recipe from ” Cook Simple ” by Diana Henry. If you like you can make the sauce for this ahead of time and then just cook the tuna at the last minute.
Ingredients
- 10 tbsps olive oil
- 2 large onions peeled and finely sliced
- 3 stalks celery very finely sliced
- 125 g raisins soaked in hot water and drained
- 175 ml white wine vinegar
- 250 ml Marsala
- 75 g green olives
- 2 tbsps caster sugar
- salt and pepper
- 6 Tuna steaks 1-1.5 cm thick
- 25 g mint leaves torn into shreds
- extra virgin olive oil to serve
Servings:
Instructions
- Heat 6 tbsps olive oil in a saute pan and add the onions and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about ten minutes until the onions are golden and soft.
- Add the raisins, vinegar, Marsala, olives and sugar. Season and stir to combine. Cook for a couple of minutes and check seasoning- you want a sweet and sour taste so add more vinegar or sugar as needed.
- Brush the tuna steaks on both sides with the rest of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a ridged griddle pan or frying pan until really hot.
- Quickly sear the tuna on both sides so that it gets a good colour. Transfer the tuna to the saute pan and cook for a couple of minutes in the sauce, or longer if preferred.
- Add the mint leaves then serve with a slug of extra virgin olive oil on top.
