Seared Tuna Salad With Anchovy Tomato Sauce Recipes

SEARED TUNA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• To make the dressing, place all the ingredients and one tablespoon of water in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Season to taste with white pepper and set aside. Season the tuna with sea salt and white pepper to taste. Heat oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat until just smoking and sear fish for 15 seconds on each side, so it's lightly cooked on the outside but still raw in the middle. Set fish aside to rest. Divide the salad leaves among four plates, then place the avocado on the leaves and add the shallots. With a sharp knife, cut the fish into thin, even slices. Place the fish on the salad and spoon the dressing liberally over the fish and leaves. Sprinkle with extra toasted sesame seeds (if desired). Season the fish with salt and a grind of white pepper to taste, then serve.

TUNA, OLIVE AND ANCHOVY SALAD

Steps:

• Before starting, remove the anchovies from the oil they come in and marinade in balsamic vinegar for 1hr minimum. Try to remove as much oil as possible. I buy a 100g jar of anchovies in olive oil, drain, and replace the oil with vinegar. Store this in the fridge for on demand de-salted marinated anchovies
• Cook the penne in a pan of boiling water. Go easy on the salt - there'll be enough from the anchovy.
• Whilst the pasta cooks, drain olives if tinned, and cut them in half.
• Trim and peel the carrot, and chop in to a thick julienne - strips 0.5cm (1/4") thick.
• Trim the spring onion, removing as little as possible of the root (white) end, and most of the 'leaf' end. Finely mince this, and the garlic.
• Remove the anchovy from vinegar, and mince very finely.
• Rince the green been and the lettice, and roughly chop.
• When the pasta is al-dente (cook until edible, but firm), add some cold water so the pasta can cool slightly, and drain well.
• Combine all ingredients.
• Stir well and season.
• Enjoy!
