TUNA TAPENADE
This is a wonderful version of tapenade, the Provençal olive paste. Serve it with croutons or raw vegetables, or use it as a filling for deviled eggs. Mash the hard-cooked yolks with the tapenade and spoon or pipe into the hard-cooked whites.

TUNA TARTAR WITH FENNEL AND GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE
Steps:
- Puree the olives, anchovy and capers in a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice. While the machine is running, add oil and water and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Force through a fine strainer and set aside.
- Dice the tuna in eighth-of-an-inch cubes with a very sharp knife (to keep the knife clean, rub it on a lightly oiled towel every so often). With a spoon, mix the diced tuna with the lemon peel, oil, soy sauce and chives. Add a dash of Tabasco and season to taste with salt and pepper. This can be prepared up to an hour in advance.
- Wash the fennel, pull apart the bulb and dice the pieces. Combine the lemon juice, sherry vinegar, ground coriander seeds, shallots and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and dress the fennel with this mixture.
- On four individual plates, place a serving of fennel in the middle and top with seasoned tuna. Spoon a little of the tapenade on each plate and on the tuna. Garnish with olives, cracked pepper, chives and fennel sprigs.
CHARRED AHI TUNA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO TAPENADE AND FARROTTO SALAD
Steps:
- In a cast iron skillet, on high heat or over a charcoal grill, cook the tuna steaks on each side for just 2 to 3 minutes, keeping the fish on the rare side of medium rare. Spread 2 tablespoons of artichoke tapenade on the fish after turning them over the first time.
- Serve with lemon wedges and Faro Salad
- In a food processor, puree all the ingredients together. Set aside. (This also makes a great crostini topping.)
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan on medium heat, sweat the onions and garlic in the oil and butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the faro and saute for 1 minute more, so that each grain is coated with oil. Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover for 35 to 40 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and faro is cooked. Turn off heat and let the faro rest covered for another 10 minutes. Stir in cheese, tomatoes and parsley. Season, to taste.
