STUFFED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Preaheat your grill or broiler.
• Mix together all the ingredients except the tuna and greens.
• Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to make a small incision on any side of the tuna steak, creating a pocket, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
• You can also make a small cut and then either wiggle the knife around gently or just start slowly easing the inside apart to create a large pocket.
• Place the tuna in the soy mixture, covering each side.
• Remove tuna from liquid, letting excess sauce drip off.
• Toss the greens with the sauce, drenching it in the liquid.
• Stuff the tuna pocket with the greens and seal the opening with toothpicks.
• Grill or broil the tuna, turning once, about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or however well-done you like your tuna.

ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
• Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.
