Tuna Burgers With Tapenade Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Roast the garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Trim the top third of the head of garlic, exposing the bulbs. Drizzle with canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in foil and roast until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Put the egg, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of mashed roasted garlic (4 or 5 cloves), lemon juice, mustard and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend to a paste on high speed. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until a thick aioli forms. Add the Castelvetrano and Kalamata olives, capers, rosemary and anchovy paste. Blend again on high speed until smooth. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
• Before serving, garnish the aioli with chopped olives, capers and rosemary.

Steps:

• Combine the tuna, olive oil, panko, parsley, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and egg in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
• Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form patties with your hands.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the patties in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Serve on whole wheat buns with your preferred toppings.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the baguette pieces, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Combine the olives, capers, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, and anchovy in a food processor. Pulse just until the olives are finely chopped. Season the tapenade with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the tuna with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden and seared on the outside, and just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
• Stir the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl to blend. (The tapenade and Dijon-mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring the tapenade to room temperature before using.)
• Spread the Dijon-mayonnaise over the bottom and top halves of the baguette pieces. Top with red peppers and red onion. Cut the tuna steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the tuna slices atop the onions. Spoon the tapenade over the tuna. Top with the lettuce then the baguette tops, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the tuna, Dijon, chipotle, oil, honey and green onion in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Shape the chopped tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (The burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking.) Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness. For the tapenade aioli: Combine olives, capers, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the mayonnaise and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve burgers with ciabatta rolls and aioli. Garnish with watercress

Steps:

• In a small saucepan saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender (without burning the garlic) and set aside to cool.
• Combine tuna, eggs, bread crumbs, onion mixture, and hot sauce, in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into 4 patties (mixture will be very soft and delicate). Refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the patties easier to handle. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them. Serve on buns with tomato slices, Brie and kosher pickles. You may decide to serve wasabi on the side.

Steps:

• Finely chop the tuna with a chef's knife. Place tuna in a bowl and mix in lemon, onion, parsley, relish, bread crumbs and eggs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Shape tuna mixture into 6 round patties. Brush both sides of tuna burgers with vegetable oil and season again with salt and pepper. Cook the tuna burgers in a non stick skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes each side until they are cooked through.
• Serve on hamburger buns with whatever you fancy. Some suggestions are cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup and barbecue sauce.

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients, except the tuna, in a food processor until smooth but still chunky. Transfer to a medium serving bowl. Drain the tuna but do not rinse. Flake the tuna with a fork. Add to the olive mixture, blending gently with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with Crostini.
• Crostini:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette, on the bias, into thin slices. In a small bowl, mix the oils and salt and pepper, to taste. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat 1 side of bread slices with the oil. Arrange on a sheet tray and bake until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Yield: about 24 slices

Steps:

• Whisk together first 6 ingredients in shallow dish for marinade. Place mayonnaise in separate small bowl. Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons marinade. Set aioli aside.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place fish in marinade in dish, turning to coat evenly. Marinate 1 hour at room temperature, turning fish occasionally.
• Oil grill rack. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill fish to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Top fish with aioli and serve.
