Chef Eve 101 Makes: Linguine with Fresh Tuna, Tomatoes and Lemon

January 29, 2014 by evebushman

Looking for something with fish for a change.  This was great, from Food and Wine Magazine, except make sure you add lots of salt and pepper:

Linguine with Fresh Tuna, Tomatoes and Lemon

1.    2 tablespoons pine nuts

2.    1 pound tuna steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice (I used a 10 ounce bag of frozen)

3.    1/2 cup dry white wine

4.    1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

5.    1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped

6.    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

7.    1/4 cup coarsely chopped fennel fronds (Ed said this was the leafy part; and I couldn’t get fennel and bought anise instead which was fine.)

8.    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (skipped it, my family is full of wimps)

9.    1 pound linguine (Reduce past by half and it serves 4, keep everything else the same.)

10. Salt and freshly ground pepper

 

Dan wine with ivy1.    In a small (medium so I only had to wash one) skillet, toast the pine nuts over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tuna, wine and lemon zest, 1/2 cup of the cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons each of the olive oil and fennel fronds. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. (Weird to marinate with the pine nuts, I didn’t notice that it added anything.)

2.    Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the crushed red pepper and the remaining cherry tomatoes and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is flavorful, about 10 minutes.

3.    Meanwhile, cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.

4.    Add the tuna mixture and the remaining 2 tablespoons of fennel fronds to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring just until the tuna starts to whiten, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the linguine and the reserved pasta cooking water and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
