Mediterranean Seared Tuna
When I was younger, eating tuna meant opening a tin and adding mayo, onions, herbs and mixing in a bowl and having tuna salad (as a sandwich). These days there’s raw, tataki, tartare, tuna steaks etc. We have options!
Back in Greece, you may find seared tuna at a modern seafood taverna with some Asian accents. The more traditional seafood tavernas sometimes have tuna on the menu and it will be grilled. This recipe is my own take, giving tuna some Mediterranean accents.
Earlier this year I served seared tuna at a Greek Supper Club and it was a huge hit. The tuna is seared quickly on all sides then sliced and plated with a topping reminiscent of a raw puttanesca sauce: tomatoes, onions, capers, garlic, olives parsley, oregano.
When buying tuna, go to a fish monger your trust. You can choose a tuna steak (go for one 1.5 inch thick) or if possible, a tuna block (a rectangular piece of tuna). The latter is my preference for more uniform slices.
Lots of umami to complement the lean tuna, an attractive dish and certainly a tasty one!
