Ingredienti per 4
  • 1 round aubergine
  • salt, to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil, as needed
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • chili pepper, to taste
  • mint, finely chopped, to taste
  • 1/2 glass of red wine vinegar and a little more to brush the tuna
  • parsley, finely chopped, to taste
  • 4 tuna fillet steaks 2 cm thick

1 tablespoon of must (freshly crushed grape juice)

Must is the juice of wine grapes, before it is left to ferment into wine. It has a hint of sweetness, and adds a lovely complexity to whatever it is added to, in this case, the dressing for the aubergine and seared tuna.

Difficulty: moderate
Cost: moderate
Preparation time: 70 minutes 
Serves: 4

Method

Cut the aubergine into slices about 2 cm thick. Salt them and leave to rest for 30 minutes. This will remove their bitterness. Then grill the steaks on a hot griddle on both sides for about 5-10 minutes.

Prepare a sauce stirring together the extra virgin olive oil, the clove of garlic, the chili pepper, the must, mint, ½ glass of red wine vinegar and parsley. Set aside.

Take the tuna steaks, sprinkle with salt and brush with vinegar. Grill for 4 minutes on each side, or less if you want it rare.

Slice the tuna steaks and arrange on the aubergine steaks. Dress with the sauce and serve on a hot plate. Enjoy!
