Ingredients
Serves 6 to 8
Step 1
Make gashes in the tuna and insert garlic slices and anchovy fillets. Rub well with oil and basil and let it stand 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Sear the tuna in olive oil. Add the onions, tomatoes, peppers, seasonings and wine. Cover and braise the fish 1 1/2 hours. Add olives to the sauce and serve hot. Or you may remove the fish to a serving dish, reduce the sauce and pour it around the fish. Cool and chill. Cut the fish in paper-thin slices and serve with the reduced sauce.

Back to TopI think I would give this recipe a second chance for a nice dinner before I criticized the "the dean of American cookery" the late, great James Beard.

Speaking of nastiness, who would cook tuna for 1 1/2 hours?

If this is too complex, then buy a TV dinner! This is a delicious recipe - light yet filling.

Hey Previous Reviewer, no one's forcing you to make this dish and I don't see it recommended for you, your kids, or your extended family. So if it doesn't agree with you, why don't you just open a flat of Cup O' Noodles which are quick and easy and your whole family can get in on the fun.

Looks good. But too complex for my purpose: family lunch. Not suitablfor a light lunch for a busy family including children.
