Description

How to poach and preserve tuna in olive oil to get a rich, evenly-cooked piece of fish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Tuna
  • 1-½ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, Crushed
  • 3 sprigs Thyme Plus Any Other Aromatics, Such As Bay Leaf, Sage, Rosemary, Lemon Peel, Or Red Pepper Flakes

Preparation

1. Rinse the tuna and pat dry. Cut into smaller 1-2 inch portions if necessary to fit snugly into a saucepan.

2. Put in a small saucepan with the oil, place over low heat until bubbles start to come to the surface.

3. Let cook for about 10 minutes, without letting the oil simmer or bubble too much.

4. Turn off the heat and add the garlic and herbs and any other flavorings.

5. Pour the contents into a glass jar. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and let infuse overnight before serving.

6. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Absolutely LOVE this method for tuna!! It has been a fave of mine for years. I believe it’s Italian in it’s origins and is called “Conservata”. I have 2 fillets in the freezer, you’ve inspired me to pull them out and do this again. Thank you!! :)
