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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put in a roasting tin to heat up. Put the tuna in a shallow dish with half the oil, two-thirds of the garlic and leaves from 1 sprig of thyme. Leave to marinate while you cook the veg.
- Put the potatoes, peppers, onion and chilli into the roasting tin with the remaining oil, toss to coat, then roast for 20 mins. The potatoes should be tender or very nearly there. If not, give them another 5 mins (the cooking time can depend on the variety of potato). Add the remaining garlic and thyme to the pan, let them sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, then cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has reduced a little. Season to taste.
- With a few mins to go, heat a griddle or frying pan, wipe most of the garlic marinade off the fish with kitchen paper, season, then sear for 1 min each side for medium or longer if you prefer. Serve on top of the veg.

SPICED TUNA STEAKS WITH FENNEL AND RED PEPPERS

Yield Serves 2
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Lightly brush tuna steaks with some additional oil and season with salt. Crush fennel seeds and peppercorns coarse in a mortar with a pestle and press onto both sides of tuna steaks. Let tuna steaks stand on a plate 10 minutes.
- In a heavy non-stick skillet sauté fennel bulb in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden. Add bell pepper and garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add water and simmer vegetables, covered, 10 minutes, or until fennel is tender. Remove lid and, if necessary, boil mixture until liquid is nearly evaporated. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
- While fennel mixture is cooking, brush a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, with some additional oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté tuna steaks 2 minutes on each side, or until barely pink in center, for medium meat. Transfer tuna steaks to plates and spoon fennel-pepper mixture over and around them.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a yellow or brown hue.
- Sear the tuna steaks properly: Searing the tuna steaks in a hot pan helps to create a crispy crust and lock in the juices. Make sure to sear the steaks for only 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Don't overcook the tuna steaks: Tuna steaks are best when they are cooked rare or medium-rare. Overcooking the steaks will make them dry and tough.
- Make sure the roasted red pepper sauce is flavorful: The roasted red pepper sauce is a key component of this dish, so make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned. You can adjust the amount of garlic, chili flakes, and herbs to taste.
- Serve the tuna steaks immediately: Tuna steaks are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are still juicy and tender.
Conclusion:
Tuna steaks with roasted red pepper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tuna steaks are seared until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the roasted red pepper sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
