Steps:

• Drain all but a tablespoon of olive oil from the tuna and then flake the fish into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the anchovy paste, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic and pulse a few times. Add the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and the mascarpone and process until almost smooth. Add the olives, capers, salt, and pepper and pulse just to incorporate. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill or preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the bread lightly on one side with olive oil. Grill the crostini on both sides until lightly browned or arrange the bread on a sheet pan and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
• Mound the tapenade on each toast, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Turn heat down to medium-high and add the egg, potato, tuna mixture. Continue to cook over low heat until underside is golden and top begins to set. Use a spatula to loosen the bottom and spoon onto a plate. Turn the pan over on the plate and flip over to finish cooking the top side (like you would a frittata or omelet). Plate and cut into wedges. Serve warm or cold. OPTIONAL: Serve with a bit of mayonnaise, ketchup, or aioli.

Add the remaining ingredients except the tuna and puree to a smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the tuna. Process until you have a smooth paste. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.

BASQUE TUNA & POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the fish into large, chunky pieces (about 1 1/2 inch squares).
• Heat the olive oil in a large stove-top safe casserole dish or pot. (I'd use a nice heavy cast iron pot). Add in the onion, garlic, peppers and tomatoes and fry over a low heat for about ten minutes.
• When the onion is looking cooked, add the paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes.
• Add in the potatoes then add just enough water to cover the potatoes and veggies. Bring up to a gentle boil.
• When the potatoes are nearly done, add in the tuna and the white wine and cook for a further 15 minutes All depending you may need to add a little more liquid if it's drying up, or let some cook off if it's too runny. Garnish with the parsley if using.
• Serve with crusty bread and a salad!

FRESH TUNA TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Rub oil over each steak, then sprinkle with the spices. Heat a griddle pan until hot, then cook the steaks on one side for 2 mins. Turn and cook for 1-2 mins more. Cut into strips.
• Heat the tortillas for 30 secs in a microwave until soft. Pile tuna, avocado and tomatoes on top of each, then squeeze over the lime juice and scatter with coriander. Dollop soured cream on top, if you like, then roll up and eat.

BASQUE POTATO TORTILLA

Steps:

• You will need a heavy skillet with a diameter or 9 to 10 inches (Dorie uses a cast-iron skillet; smaller is better than larger).
• Choose a skillet with a handle that can go under the broiler (if you are not sure, wrap the handle in foil).
• Pour about 2 tablespoons oil into the skillet and warm it over medium heat.
• Add the potatoes and onion, garlic and rosemary if using; turn the ingredients around until they glisten with oil.
• Season with salt and pepper; decrease the heat and cook slowly until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes; you should be able to pierce the potatoes easily with the tip of a knife.
• Discard the garlic and rosemary and transfer the potatoes and onion to a bowl.
• Carefully wipe the skillet with a paper towel (if anything has stuck to the bottom of the pan, you should wash it--you need a clean surface so the tortilla will unmold easily).
• Position broiler rack so that when you slide the skillet onto it, the pan will be about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.
• In a big bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and the cayenne, then stir in the potatoes and onion.
• Put the skillet over med-high heat and pour in about 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
• When the oil is hot, add the eggs and potatoes to the pan.
• Immediately lower the heat, and let the eggs cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes.
• Run a silicone spatula or a table knife around the edges of the pan to release the tortilla, then cover the pan and cook slowly for another 8-10 minutes, or until the top is almost set--there will be a circle of liquid or jiggly egg at the center.
• Every couple of minutes, run your spatula around the sides of the pan and just under the tortilla to keep it from sticking.
• Slide the pan under the broiler and cook until the top of the tortilla is set; check it after 1 minute, and then keep checking--it can go fast.
• Transfer the tortilla to a serving platter and allow it to cool to room temperature before cutting and serving it.
