TUNA TATAKI WITH PONZU
Luscious tuna is prepared tataki-style-seared, chilled, and thinly sliced-then served with glossy flame-roasted peppers and a bright homemade ponzu sauce. While it looks almost too pretty to eat, take one bite and you won't put your chopsticks down until it's gone!

Steps:
- White Ponzu Sauce, part 1: Into a jar, add bonito flakes and 3 orange slices. Lay kombu on a flat surface and use a damp towel to wipe off the crystallized white salt on both sides. Cut the kombu into smaller pieces, then score in a cross-hatch pattern. Set aside.
- White Ponzu Sauce, part 2: In a small saucepan, add sake and mirin; bring to a boil over high heat. Then add unseasoned ponzu, white soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Return to a simmer; add kombu pieces and turn off heat. Stir to soften kombu; then pour contents of saucepan into the jar with oranges and bonito. Stir to combine, then set aside to cool, 1 hour. Makes about 1 cup White Ponzu Sauce. (Flavor improves after 2-3 days; store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
- Tuna Tataki, part 1: Square off the sides of the fillets for a "restaurant-quality" look. (This is optional. Save tuna scraps for another use, such as tartare or a snack over rice.) Cut each fillet in half to create four blocks of tuna. Place on a wire rack fitted into a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Tuna Tataki, part 2: Preheat a dry skillet over high heat. Drizzle oil over the tuna, about 1½ tablespoons per block. Season each with a pinch of salt, then rub the salt and oil into the tuna, flipping to coat evenly on all sides. Finish with a liberal sprinkling freshly ground pepper on top and bottom. When the pan is smoking hot, add 2 teaspoons of oil. Sear tuna, one piece at a time, for 3 seconds on each side. Chill seared tuna in the refrigerator. (Note: Tuna Tataki can be made a day in advance. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.)
- Fire-Roasted Peppers, part 1: Turn one or two burners on a gas stove to high heat and lay the peppers directly over the flame. (Alternatively, char peppers on a grill, under a broiler, or with a kitchen torch.) Use tongs to turn peppers until they are charred on all sides. Place peppers in a bowl, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes. (The steam trapped in the bowl will continue cooking the peppers and loosen the skin for easy peeling.)
- Fire-Roasted Peppers, part 2: Remove plastic wrap and place peppers on a work surface. Cut off the top and bottom, then slice open vertically and remove seeds. Lightly scrape your knife across the charred skin to remove; then use a damp paper towel to wipe off any remaining char and seeds. Optional: To remove additional char, dip briefly in water, then pat dry with paper towels. (Note: Peppers can be roasted 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.)
- Julienne the peppers. Remove and set aside the shallot core (discard or reserve for another use); julienne the shallot. Peel, thinly slice, and julienne the garlic. Cut away ginger peel, slice, and julienne.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil and spread to cover the pan. Add ginger and stir to coat, then stir in garlic. Cook ginger and garlic until lightly brown and soft, 1 minute. Add shallots, stir, and sweat, 1 minute. Add slightly less than 1 tablespoon fish sauce and stir to incorporate. Let mixture cook until lightly caramelized and sticky, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat, add peppers and stir, just to warm through and absorb the flavors. Stir in remaining fish sauce, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a plate and chill in the refrigerator, 15 minutes.
- Assembly: Strain White Ponzu Sauce into another jar, pressing down on solids to extract all of the liquid. Set aside. Thinly slice scallion on a bias, then the serrano pepper, including seeds. Set aside. In an individual serving bowl, add several tablespoons peppers. Cut 5-6 thin slices (a "nigiri slice") of tuna at an angle, against the grain. (Reserve the corner piece for the chef!) Roll tuna slices like a cigar and place over the peppers in a decorative pile. Garnish with a few scallion and serrano slices. Add 2 tablespoons White Ponzu Sauce over and around the tuna. Assemble remaining plates and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk the oil, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to blend. Cut the swordfish steaks into 36 (1-inch) cubes and toss in the oil mixture to coat. Thread the swordfish cubes onto wooden skewers, 3 per skewer. Wrap a slice of pancetta around and between the swordfish cubes on each skewer. Arrange the swordfish skewers on a small baking sheet and brush with the remaining oil mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, turning occasionally in the oil mixture.
- Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the swordfish skewers until the swordfish is just opaque in the center and the pancetta is crisp, turning often, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the skewers to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
UNION SQUARE CAFE'S MARINATED FILET MIGNON OF TUNA
Steps:
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the tuna. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning every hour.
- Drain the tuna thirty minutes before cooking and bring to room temperature.
- Preheat a grill, grill pan or outdoor barbecue to very hot.
- Brush the tuna with olive oil. Grill the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each of their six sides. The outside of the tuna should be nicely charred, and the center should be barely warm and quite rare. Cooked this way, the tuna will remain moist and flavorful.
- Top each steak with pickled ginger and serve.
DUSTIN'S CHICKEN SPIEDINI
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a baking pan lightly with cooking spray. Wrap each chicken strips around each cheese cube and secure with a toothpick. Dip chicken in olive oil and then roll in bread crumbs. Place chicken in the baking pan. Top with bay leaves and sliced onions. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through, and cheese has melted, and bread crumbs are golden brown. Serve.

Steps:
- Season the pork well with a good amount of black pepper and grey salt. Mince the garlic and then, sprinkle with salt to help the mashing process. Using the side of a knife, mash it into a paste (this process is helped along if you sprinkle the garlic with a little salt to help break it up). The mashed garlic flavor will spread throughout the sausage more easily than minced garlic. Add the garlic to the sausage, then add the California chili powder (this is a sweet chili that will give the sausage a strong red color). Add the chili flakes, beer, and fennel seeds and mix well. Cover sausage in a bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Chef's note: if you'd like to test pork sausage for seasoning, fry a little in a small pan with some olive oil before tasting. Remember, you can always add more seasoning, but you can never take it away!
- To form spiedini:
- Preheat a grill.
- Just before your cookout, soak 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 1 hour so they won't catch on fire when you place them on the grill. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Form the sausage into baseball sized meatballs and place on the cookie sheet. To form the spiedini, flatten the balls into patties, place 2 skewers in the middle of a sausage patty, then wrap the patty firmly around the skewer. Wrap the spiedini in foil that you will use to bring them to the grill.
- To Grill spiedini:
- Place spiedini on the cooler part of the coals or on a medium grill. Drizzle with olive oil. Grill for about 10 minutes on each side, until well cooked.

- Toss greens and all remaining dressing in medium bowl. Mound salad on plates; top with skewers.

TUNA SPIEDINI
I saw Giada De Laurentiis make this on her show on the Food Network, and knew I had to try it. They came out very tasty and they made a great presentation! They would be a wonderful way to impress company! Next time I would cook the fennel and onion for a bit in the oven before placing them on the skewer, as they were not quite done to my liking. This could easily be done on the grill also.
