Step by Step guide

Step 1

Finely chop the onion. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, remove the skin, cut them in half, and remove the seeds.

Step 2

Blend the onion and tomatoes to make a puree.

Step 3

Cut the tuna fillet into 2-3 pieces. Make small cuts in the tuna and stuff it with finely chopped garlic and mint leaves. Sprinkle the fish with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the pieces of fish in the hot oil and lightly fry on both sides.

Step 5

When the fish is covered with a thin golden crust, pour the white wine into the skillet, bring to a boil, and cook until the wine has completely evaporated.

Step 6

Pour the tomato puree over the fish and simmer covered until cooked through (about 10-15 minutes).

Step 7

Remove the cooked fish from the heat, let it cool slightly, and cut into serving slices. Serve with the tomato sauce in which it was stewed. As a side dish - pasta, arugula, or leaf salad.
