I cooked some'en:Giada tuna w/cipolline onion

JLOCKHART29

Well my little Itilian chief came up with another Egg friendly recipe to try.


2 pounds cipolline onions
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
6 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 1-inch thick)



Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel the onions and cut off the root ends.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Toss the onions, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Roast in the oven until the onions are tender and golden, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, whisk the 1/3 cup oil, lemon juice, thyme, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in another 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes on each side.

Oil the grill rack and prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat. Grill the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Cut the steaks in half. Transfer the steaks to a platter. Spoon the onion mixture around and serve.

The onions in basolimic was great. Got to talking on the phone and over cooked the tuna but was still great. I cut the recipe as only did two tuna stakes and had to add a little muskiedine wine toward the end. Did this yesterday. Working up a big mess of Hatch peppers before the storm!

Yea I made it home from the other farm about 1 1/2 hrs ago. Looked at radar on cell phone before I left and looked like I would get drowned on way home so put her at 80-85 mph on 55 mph back road and hoped the State boys were home for the holidays! They were ! Trying to get everything buckeled down as it's going to hit in less than an hr. Peppers are sweating and got to go shuck them.

I love cipollinis. Those look real good and I am sure the sauce helped save the slightly over done tuna. I over cooked our burgers a little last night. We had friends over who's daughter makes them eat vegan. I don't think they noticed. Beef bacon and cheese are all verboten at home.
