Tuna Puttanesca
- 6 ounces whole red onion or 5 ounces chopped, ready-cut onion (1 1/3 cups)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic
- 4 oil-cured olives
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 8 ounces fresh tuna
- Chop the onion, if necessary.
- Heat a nonstick skillet, one large enough to hold all the ingredients, until it is very hot.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the oil.
- Saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
- Put the garlic through a garlic press; pit and chop the olives, and add them and the garlic to the skillet.
- Cook for about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the anchovy paste and wine, and cook a few minutes more over very low heat, just to blend the ingredients.
- Meanwhile, cut the tuna into bite-size chunks.
- Add the tuna to the sauce, cooking until the pieces are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Serve.
