Tonno Alla Brace Con Mollica

This dish, which translates to “Grilled Tuna with Breadcrumbs”, is typical of the coastal regions of Italy. It’s a light dish that pairs excellently with a simple salad.

Ingredients

• 2 tuna steaks, 200g each
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• lemon juice
• 100g breadcrumbs
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp olive oil

Recipe

1. Preheat a grill (though a pan will suffice).
2. Mix the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, and olive oil together in a bowl obtaining a dry mixture. If the mix is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
3. Season the tuna steaks with the salt and pepper.
4. Dip the tuna steaks into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure that each side is well coated.
5. Squeeze over the lemon juice.
6. Cook on the grill/pan for 3-4 minutes a side, until the breadcrumbs are brown and crispy.
