Stove Top Fresh Tuna Stew
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 1 large garlic clove sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 ounce can anchovies, minced
- 4 cups seeded and chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (from the jar) cut into 1/4 -inch strips
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh tuna, cut into 1-inch dice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon each of nonpareil capers and slivered Nicoise black olives
- 1/2 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, cut with scissors
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts for garnish
- In a deep skillet heat the olive oil.
- Add the onion and saute for a few minutes.
- Add the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the wine.
- Cover and cook for a few minutes or until tender.
- Add the anchovies and remaining wine and evaporate until reduced by half.
- Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and simmer, over very low heat, uncovered while you start the rice and carrots.
- When the rice and carrots are almost done, add the tuna to the tomatoes, cover and simmer 2 to 3 minutes just to warm through (you want the interior rare or the dish will taste as if you used canned tuna).
- Uncover the skillet, add the capers and black olives and adjust the seasoning.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil.
- Serve over rice and carrots and garnish with pine nuts.
