Sweet And Sour Tuna Recipes

SWEET AND SOUR SICILIAN TUNA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove the onion from the skillet.
• Place the tuna steaks in the same skillet over medium-high heat and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna steaks to a serving tray; keep warm.
• Stir the vinegar and sugar together in the same skillet until sugar is dissolved. Return the onions to the pan, and simmer until the liquid reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the tuna to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Place the tuna on the warm serving tray and top with the onion and sweet and sour mixture.

TUNNU AURUDUCI (SAUTEED SWEET-AND-SOUR TUNA STEAKS)

Steps:

• Over medium heat, place a skillet lare enough to hold all the tuna steaks in one layer. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the sliced onions, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook the onions for about 8 to 9 minutes or until they're wilted and golden brown. Remove the onions from the pan and keep them warm.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of the olive oil to the same pan and increase the heat to high. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper and lightly flour them on both sides. Sear the tuna steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then remove them from the pan. Add the sugar, vinegar, wine, and cooked onions to the pan. Cook uncovered, over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and the tuna steaks and cook for another 2 mintues. Remove the tuna to a warm platter, pour the pan juices on top, and serve.
