GRILLED TUNA WITH WARM WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan simmer beans in salted water with crushed garlic until tender, about 1 hour, and drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.

Chop 1 cup arugula and stir into beans (off heat) with garlic paste, onion, parsley, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Keep bean salad warm, covered, over very low heat while cooking arugula.

(Alternatively, fish may be cooked in a heated well-seasoned ridged grill pan in same manner.)
• Arrange bean salad and remaining cup arugula on 4 plates and top with fish. Squeeze lemon over the fish.
