Oh Frank! That was a wonderful way for me to start my morning here in Ekalaka Lake. Brrrrrrrr, yes it’s a cold one, again!
Certainly brought me back to a kinder, gentler age, my alter kocker homie. LÔL! =p
I find that if I prop my Apple MacBook Pro (which boasts both a FireWire 800 port and a double-layer burning SuperDrive!) up on the windowsill on the front porch, I can watch your youtube video over and over while relaxing on the (newly oiled; goodness it was squeeky!) porchswing while enjoying a lovely cup of organic green tea (fair trade, natch)!
Mediterranean Tuna Steaks
2 Servings
The Mediterranean flavors of the colorful topping in this recipe are a perfect complement to the flavor and firm texture of the fish. A cast-iron grill pan is best for this dish. Be sure to season a new cast iron pan well before using it for the first time and preheat it each time you use it. Spinach sautéed with garlic is an excellent side dish for this recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tuna steaks, 6 ounces each, about 1 inch thick
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 medium ripe tomato, diced fine
6 green olives, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon scallions, chopped
2 teaspoons capers
1 clove garlic, mashed
Pinch
of dried whole oregano
Instructions:
1. Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat dry. Brush them with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat grill or broiler. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Grill or broil the steaks on high heat, about 2-3 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
4. Top the tuna steaks with the tomato-olive mixture.

Auntie H.,
My comment preview plug-in was hacked together in the Berkeley Hills by goth script kiddies with Keane eyes and blown-back dyed black and purple hair. Young-uns on meth, I think, their smiles are more a grim rictus than the warm and open MDMA tooth displays we have grown accustomed to in this kinder gentler age. The plug-in works well for the preview but not for the permalink packaging (no — not saran wrap for sausages, although perhaps a cyber version of that).
To the point, thank-you thank-you thank-you for the tuna recipe!!!
I am getting out the Farberware electric grill right now , stoking up the fires as it were, for a deelishus tuna treat!!!
