(Tonno e Peperoni)
Category: Fillets and Steaks
Peppers and chiles are one of the hallmarks of Molise-style cooking. I first had this dish prepared with sgombri, which are similar to mackerel, but I often make it with tuna steaks or swordfish.
4 red or yellow bell pepper
4 tuna steaks (each about 3/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 small jalapeno chiles or other fresh chile, finely chopped or crushed red pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 Place the grill rack or broiler pan about 5 inches from the source of the heat. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a barbecue grill, or preheat the broiler.
2 Grill or broil the peppers, turning them often, until the skin is blistered and lightly charred, about 15 minutes. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover them with foil or plastic wrap.
3 Brush the tuna steaks with oil and salt and pepper to taste. Grill or broil the fish until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the fish over with tongs and cook until browned on the other side but still pink in the center, about 2 minutes more, or until done to taste. Test for doneness by making a small cut in the thickest part of the fish.
4 Core, peel, and seed the peppers. Cut the peppers into 1/2-inch strips and place them in a bowl. Season with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon juice, parsley, chile, garlic, and salt to taste. Toss gently.
5 Cut the fish into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices overlapping slightly on a serving plate. Spoon the peppers over the top. Serve warm.
