Sicilian-style tuna
Tuna is a very tasty second course of seasonal fish. It is a simple recipe to prepare with Mediterranean ingredients with strong flavors and inevitable in Sicilian cuisine. It is an excellent dish for the whole family, even for the little ones. This is a typical Sicilian way to cook tuna. The taste is amazing and strong! It’s perfect for dinner, Sunday meal and other occasions. I suggest to combine the dish with a strong and flavoured white chardonnay. Learn the steps to prepare Sicilian-style tuna.
