Categories     main-dish

Time 13h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

10 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for drizzling tomatoes
2 pounds Pacific albacore tuna (or other fresh tuna steak)
Herbes de Provence
Coarse salt
White Bean Puree, recipe follows
Pesto, recipe follows
Sauteed greens, asparagus or haricots verts
2 cups dried white beans
1/2 cup diced white onion
3 cloves garlic
2 to 4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic
1 lemon, juiced
2 cups mixed fresh herbs, tightly packed (basil, parsley, mint)
2 cups olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the minced garlic and parsley on top. Drizzle with olive oil, place in the oven and roast until somewhat dry, but still pliable, about 5 hours.
  • Light a small amount of wood in your outdoor grill and allow it to burn thoroughly, about 30 minutes. When the wood is down to the smoky embers, transfer it to the smoker or a roasting pan that you don't mind scorching. Place the roasting pan containing the burning wood in the oven along with the fish and allow it to smoke for about 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to oversmoke and thus overpower the albacore flavor. (Chef's Note: The amount of time the fish should be smoked will vary depending on the size of your oven. Mitchell recommends experimenting to your taste.)
  • Mix the herbes de Provence and coarse salt together. Coat the exterior of the albacore with the mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the fish on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes total, keeping the center rare.
  • To serve, place a mound of white bean puree just off-center on each plate. Cut the albacore into slices and fan out around the white bean puree. Add the roasted tomatoes and drizzle pesto all around the plate. Serve with sauteed greens, asparagus, or haricots verts, if desired.
  • Soak the dried white beans in 2 quarts of water overnight.
  • Drain the beans, put in a pot with the onion, garlic and water to cover by several inches. Simmer until beans are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain. While still warm, put in a food processor and puree with butter, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • In a food processor, pulse the garlic, lemon juice, and herbs until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the herbs are minced but the mixture is still slightly chunky. Add the cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

GRILLED OR PAN-COOKED ALBACORE WITH SOY/MIRIN MARINADE

If you're concerned about which fish are environmentally safe to eat, you can't do better than consulting the Web sites of the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the Environmental Defense Fund for their handy pocket guides for buying seafood (or choosing it in a restaurant). You won't break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department. Among my findings were albacore steaks, one of the few types of tuna that we can still enjoy with a clear conscience, and a great fish if you're trying to eat more omega-3s. This is a sweet/savory marinade that I also use for tofu. If you are concerned about the quantity of soy sauce, know that most of it stays behind in the bowl when you cook the fish. If you are using frozen albacore steaks, wait until they are partly thawed before marinating.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds albacore steaks

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger and sugar in a bowl and whisk together well. Whisk in the sesame oil.
  • Place the albacore steaks in a large bowl or baking dish and toss with the marinade. Cover the bowl, or transfer the fish and marinade to a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or longer.
  • Prepare a hot grill, or heat a heavy cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade. Cook the steaks for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like the fish to be. Serve hot.
