3/4 lb Italian fry peppers (light green)
2 (3/4-lb) sushi-grade tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

Roasted Red Pepper Filled With Tuna image

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, for one, quick, roasts

Time 15m

Yield 1 generous serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium size or large red bell pepper
1 garlic clove
Pinch of salt
1 anchovy fillet, soaked in water to cover for 10 to 15 minutes, then drained, rinsed and patted dry (optional but recommended)
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed
1 5-oz. can water-packed tuna or olive oil-packed tuna, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (omit if using olive oil-packed tuna)
1 tablespoon plain low-fat yogurt (more to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
  • While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
  • When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.

GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (6 ounce) albacore tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 lime, juiced
½ cup hickory wood chips, soaked

  • Place tuna steaks and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • When selecting tuna, look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a bright red color. Avoid any fish that is dull or has brown spots.
  • To ensure your tuna cooks evenly, cut it into steaks of equal thickness. If the steaks are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may be overcooked on the outside before the inside is done.
  • Season the tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper before grilling. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. If you prefer your tuna to be rare, cook it for a shorter amount of time. If you prefer it to be well-done, cook it for a longer amount of time.
  • To prevent the tuna from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking. You can also use a non-stick cooking spray.
  • Serve the grilled tuna steaks immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, and a simple salad.
