6 to 8 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted cold butter, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for sauteing
1 pound spinach, blanched, squeezed dry and finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup flour
6 tomatillos, husked and scrubbed
6 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons honey
2 ancho chilies, soaked until soft, seeded and pureed
3 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Whisk together ancho puree, garlic, fennel, allspice, orange juice, honey, olive oil, and oregano in a medium-baking dish. Add the tuna and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, covered.
  • Heat grill pan over high heat. Remove tuna from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Sear on 1 side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over and cook for 1 minute for medium-rare doneness.
  • Place two Spinach-Tomatillo Rice Cakes onto a plate. Prop a tuna steak on top of the cakes at an angle. Drizzle the plate with the Ancho Chile Red Wine Sauce.

Stir in the spinach and tomatillo sauce, season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly out onto a sheet pan, cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the risotto from the refrigerator and cut out 8 (2-inch) circles. Place the flour onto a plate and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the risotto circles on both sides in the flour and tap of the excess. Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Saute the cakes until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place tomatillos, garlic, and onions on a medium baking sheet, toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until all vegetables are soft, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place roasted vegetables and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Combine ancho puree and wine in a small saucepan and cook until reduced by half. Add the mixture to a blender with the vinegar and honey, blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Re-season, if needed.

TUNA STEAK MARCHAND DE VIN

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tuna steaks (about 150 g/5 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 cup (250 ml/8 fl oz) any red wine
3 to 4 sprigs of mixed fresh herbs (see above)
salt and pepper
For the white beans
1 1/2 cups (250g/1/2 lb) dried white kidney beans
1 onion, peeled and stuck with a clove
a bouquet garni made with parsley stems, a bay leaf, and generous amounts of thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. For the white beans, put the beans in a bowl, cover with cold water, and leave overnight to soak. Drain them and put in a large saucepan with the whole onion, bouquet garni, and enough water to cover by 3/4 inch (2 cm). (Add salt only three-quarters through cooking or the beans will be tough.) Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that collects on the surface. Cover the pan and simmer until the beans are nearly tender, 1 to 3 hours depending on the age and type of bean. Stir occasionally as they cook and add more water so at the end of cooking the beans are moist and soupy but not swimming in liquid.
  • 2. Just before the beans are tender, heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped onion, and fry until soft but not brown. Stir in the garlic, salt, and pepper and continue cooking 1 minute. Stir this mixture into the beans. When the beans are very tender, discard the whole onion and bouquet garni. Taste and adjust the seasoning. You can cook the beans up to 3 days ahead, storing them in the refrigerator. If you cook the beans ahead, then only the tuna steaks need be sautéed at dinnertime.
  • 3. For the steaks, heat the oil in a skillet. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper and sauté over quite high heat about 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, allowing 1 to 2 minutes if you like your tuna rare, or 3 to 4 minutes if you prefer it well done. Transfer the steaks to individual plates and keep warm.
  • 4. Allow the pan to cool somewhat before adding the shallots, and sauté, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the wine and boil rapidly until it is reduced by about half. Stir in the chopped herbs and taste for seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the tuna, pile the beans beside the steaks, and serve.
  • Quick fix
  • I must confess that I often resort to ready-cooked canned beans, preferably cannellini. Just add the onion and garlic, with plenty of chopped thyme as a personal note.
