PENNE WITH GRILLED TUNA AND CRISP- FRIED CAPERS
The fried capers add a nice unexpected touch--be sure to save the butter drained from them for another use, such as flavoring vegetables. I dipped some bread in it and that proved quite tasty, too. Watch the tuna closely---the chunks are easy to overcook, in which case they will be dry. -Adapted from License to Grill

Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the capers and butter and bring to a simmer; the pan should be big enough so the capers can move around and fry freely, which will take 10-12 minutes (they should be golden brown and crispy when they are finished).
- Drain off remaining butter and put the capers on a paper towel to drain.
- While the capers are cooking, thread the tuna chunks on skewers, brush with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the skewers on the grill over a medium-hot fire and cook for 3-4 minutes per side (to check for doneness cut into one of the chunks--it should be pink but not red in the center).
- Remove from grill and let cool until they are cool enough to slide off the skewers.
- In the meantime, bring 4 quarts of salted water to boil in a large pot over high heat; add the pasta, return to boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, until pasta is tender but not mushy.
- Drain and place in a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, grilled tuna and salt and pepper to taste; add capers, toss well, and serve.

[email protected]The tuna steaks were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it's because I used a store-bought lemon-pepper seasoning blend. Next time, I'll make my own blend with less salt.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the capers. Next time, I'll try making it with half the amount of capers.
