Description

This recipe closely follows a tuna recipe by Veronica Bell. She is amazing as a chef!

Ingredients

Tuna - 17.6 oz
Lemon - ½ piece
Salt - to taste
Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
Dry White Wine - 5 fl oz
Pears - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Season the tuna fillet with salt (don't overdo it: a couple of pinches will suffice).

Step 2

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, and 100 ml of white wine. Add the marinade to the fish and let it marinate for 2-3 hours (if you're in a hurry, at least wait 30-40 minutes).

Step 3

Bake the pieces of tuna in foil (or in a baking bag) at 392°F for 10 minutes, for a pink center. Or 15-17 minutes for full cooking.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat 50 ml of white wine in a pan and sauté the pear slices for 2 minutes on each side. Very soft pears will need 1-2 minutes, while firmer ones will require 3-4 minutes.
