Salade Niçoise is one of the great summer dishes of Southern France. It's the centerpiece of a party that's all about sunny Mediterranean style, from the wine to the plates to the tea towels. Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
2 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped thyme leaves |
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground fennel |
2 large shallots, coarsely chopped |
10 1-inch-thick tuna steaks (8 ounces each) |
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil with the wine, mustard, thyme, fennel and shallots. Arrange the tuna steaks on a large rimmed baking sheet and pour the marinade over them. Turn the tuna steaks to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
2. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, for 4 minutes per side, until medium. Thinly slice the steaks, transfer to plates and serve.
