Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb Italian fry peppers (light green)
2 (3/4-lb) sushi-grade tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons small capers in brine, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

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.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SPICY ITALIAN NEONATA



Grilled Vegetables With Spicy Italian Neonata image

Summer squash, bell peppers, eggplant and greens are the stars of this greenmarket grill party. The spicy vibrant finishing sauce is inspired by Calabrian neonata, a preserved condiment made with hot peppers and baby fish. The condiment is often drizzled onto pasta, pizza or grilled bread. Here, briny anchovies, salami and olives season the sauce with salty, meaty notes to contrast with the spicy pickled cherry peppers and cool, crunchy celery. The fiery, tangy dressing, which can be made a few hours ahead, provides a lively boost for the smoky, tender veggies. Leftover neonata keeps for a week and makes a great sandwich topping the next day.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Neutral oil, for greasing
4 bell peppers of any color (2 pounds), halved, seeded and sliced into 1-inch strips
3 zucchini (1 1/2 pounds), sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal
3 Italian baby eggplants (1 1/2 pounds), sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
3 heads sturdy lettuce, such as romaine or radicchio, quartered through the core
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 anchovy fillets, minced into a paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 ounces sliced salami or soppressata, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
1/2 cup jarred sliced hot cherry peppers, finely chopped
1/2 cup pitted manzanilla or Cerignola olives, chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
  • On two large sheet pans, divide bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle the contents of each sheet pan with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. In batches, grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until cut sides are tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes for the lettuce, 8 to 10 minutes for the zucchini, and 10 to 12 minutes for the peppers and eggplant. Transfer them to one very large (or two large) serving platters as they finish cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, anchovies and garlic; whisk until well blended. And salami, cherry peppers, olives, celery, parsley and the remaining 3/4 cup oil, and mix well. (Makes about 2 cups neonata.)
  • Generously drizzle or spoon some of the neonata over the grilled vegetables. Serve vegetables warm or at room temperature, with the remaining neonata on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Don't overcook the tuna steaks: Tuna steaks are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the tuna steaks with a flavorful sauce: A simple caper vinaigrette is a great option, but you can also try a salsa verde or a chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna and peppers with caper vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna is grilled to perfection and the peppers are roasted until they are slightly charred. The caper vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
