A recipe from Kitchen
Tonno in agrodolce
Ingredients
- 4 tuna steaks, about 2 cm thick (600 g)
- 6 tbsp Castruriali extra virgin olive oil — The onions cook slowly in plenty of olive oil until sweet and soft.
- 600 g onions (3 medium), thinly sliced
- 60 ml white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp plain flour (leave out for gluten-free)
- a handful of mint leaves
- salt and black pepper
Method
- Cook the onions. Cook the onions in 4 tablespoons of oil with a pinch of salt over a low heat, covered, for 20 minutes until very soft and sweet.
- Agrodolce. Add the vinegar and sugar, raise the heat and cook for 2–3 minutes until the vinegar softens. Season.
- Sear the tuna. Season the tuna and dust it lightly with flour. Sear in the remaining oil in a hot pan for 1–2 minutes a side, so it stays pink in the middle.
- Serve. Spoon the onions over the tuna, scatter with mint and serve warm or at room temperature.
The oil: 6 tbsp Castruriali EVOO — The onions cook slowly in plenty of olive oil until sweet and soft..
