Ingredients
- 1 lb tuna fresh,cut into bite size pieces
- 1/2 Cup white wine
- 1 Cup fish stock
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 Teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1-2 bay leaves
- Olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lard optional
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet set over high heat add olive oil and garlic. Toss in the onions and brown for a few minutes. Reduce heat to low and add a small amount of the wine. Caramelize the onions. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Stir the onions while they are caramelizing. If you notice them sticking to the pan, add a little splash of water. Once you have done this turn the heat back to high and add the tuna. Sear the tuna for a few minutes and add all the stock and remaining wine with bay leaves. Immediately turn the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes to infuse the flavours.
- Personally, I like to make this in advance and serve it later on by reheating it. I find the tuna is more tender and it just taste better.
- We like to serve it with Roasted Rosemary Potatoes and a chilled glass of white wine!
