GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES



Grilled Tuna With Herbs and Olives image

Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

SEAFOOD AL CARTOCCIO



Seafood al Cartoccio image

This seafood stew of lobster, bass, squid, Dungeness crab, fennel and a seafood broth flavored with tomatoes, fennel and saffron, is baked in a paper bag.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 red onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 bulb fennel, sliced
Olive oil, for cooking
1 cooked Dungeness crab
One 750-milliliter bottle white wine
1 cup sliced white onion
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon saffron
8 ounces striped bass, cut into four pieces
1 1/2 cups cleaned squid
8 whole head-on shrimp, butterflied
1 cooked 1 1/2-pound lobster
2 heirloom tomatoes, diced
2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the red onion, garlic, half the fennel and 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large Dutch oven over high heat. Cook until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add the Dungeness crab and wine and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, to a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil, the remaining fennel, white onion and ginger and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the saffron. Carefully strain the broth directly into the ginger and onion pan, breaking up the crab and reserving for later. Allow the broth to simmer vigorously for about 30 minutes to thicken and reduce.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, soak a double-lined paper bag in water for about 5 minutes in a clean sink. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Add the striped bass, squid and shrimp to the grill and cook just until seared, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove and place in a large bowl with the lobster, tomatoes and reserved Dungeness crab.
  • Pour the reduced broth over all the seafood and toss to combine. Add to the soaked paper bag. Roll the top of the bag to seal, creating a pouch, and lay, roll side-down, on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Bring to the table on a platter and cut open with some scissors. Serve with the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Tuna: Choose fresh, sushi-grade tuna steaks or fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Seasoning the Tuna: Use a flavorful marinade or rub to enhance the taste of the tuna. Popular options include olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus.
  • Preparing the Foil Packets: Cut aluminum foil into large sheets and place the seasoned tuna in the center. Add vegetables, herbs, and any other desired ingredients around the tuna.
  • Folding the Foil Packets: Fold the foil packets tightly to create a sealed environment. Ensure there are no openings to prevent steam from escaping.
  • Grilling the Foil Packets: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the foil packets directly on the grates. Grill for the recommended time, flipping once halfway through.
  • Cooking Time: The cooking time for tuna in foil packets may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks or fillets. Check for doneness by inserting a fork or thermometer into the center of the fish.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the grilled tuna in foil packets immediately after cooking. Accompany it with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
