Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1 tablespoon minced jalapeño chili
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 drained canned diced tomatoes
1/2 cup bottled clam juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 6- to 8-ounce tuna steaks
12 ounces angel hair pasta
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Additional chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add both bell peppers, jalapeño and minced garlic; sauté until peppers are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, clam juice, 1/3 cup cilantro, wine, water, lemon juice and dried red pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix flour and garlic powder in shallow bowl. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Coat with flour mixture, shaking off excess. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in another heavy large skillet over high heat. Add tuna to skillet and sauté until just opaque on the outside, about 2 minutes per side. Bring sauce to simmer over medium heat. Add tuna; cook until opaque in center, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta. Divide among 4 plates. Place tuna atop pasta. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cilantro and serve.

This dish is a classic for a reason. It's simple, flavorful, and easy to make. I love the combination of the tuna, tomatoes, and capers. It's a great meal for a weeknight dinner.

Meh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the tuna was a bit dry. I probably won't make this again.

I tried this recipe last week and it was a disaster! The sauce was bland and the tuna was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

I love this recipe! It is my go-to dish when I'm short on time but still want something delicious and satisfying. The tuna adds a nice protein boost and the capers add a salty, briny flavor that I really enjoy.

This dish was incredibly delicious. I made it for my family last night and it was a hit! The sauce was rich and flavorful with the perfect touch of acidity from the tomatoes. The angel hair pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and soaked up the sauce
