Olive Salad |
- 2/3 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
- 2/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2/3 cup Niçoise olives, pitted and chopped
- 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
|
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
|
| Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 20 minutes at room temperature or overnight in
the refrigerator. |

Tuna Steaks |
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
|
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 4 tuna steaks (7 ounces each)
- kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
|
| Combine all ingredients, except Tuna, in a 13x9x2 glass
baking dish. Whisk well to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add tuna and toss
to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no more than 45
minutes.
(Citric acid in the lemon juice will "cook" the tuna). Grill over
mediumhigh heat, about four minutes a side, turning once. Transfer to plates. Spoon
olive salad over steaks and serve. |
