Tuna with Oregano - Tonnu Rigatanu

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Tonnu Rigatanu, or Tuna with Oregano: Another Sicilian grilled fresh tuna recipe. In the tradition of older Italian recipes it doesn't give quantities, but rather outlines a procedure. So it will serve as many as you buy fish for. Figure one fish steak per person.

Prep Time: 1 hours,

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Fresh tuna steaks
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic
  • Fresh oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Buy your fish cut into portion-sized steaks or cut it up when you get home. Make a marinade with olive oil, minced garlic (1-2 cloves), salt, pepper, and abundant fresh oregano, minced. Marinate the fish for about an hour, and grill the pieces, turning them repeatedly and basting them with the marinade. When they're done serve them with the remaining marinade on the side.

The wine? A flavorful white, perhaps a Ciró.
