Title: Marinated Seared Tuna, Crispy Vegetables, Tapenade Vinaigre
Categories: Dujour09
Yield: 4 servings

1 Fennel bulb
2 Pink radishes
1 Celery stalk
2 Scallions
2 Asparagus spears
=== TUNA MARINADE ===
1 c Soy sauce
1 Clove garlic; minced
1 ts Freshly-crushed black pepper
8 oz Yellow-fin tuna
=== TAPENADE DRESSING ===
3 tb Black olive puree
3 tb Basil puree
Juice of 2 lemons
3 tb Virgin olive oil

Slice all the vegetables thinly with a very sharp mandoline and put them in
icy water for about an hour. Combine marinade ingredients. Cut the tuna in
long thin slices about 1/2-inch thick and let sit in the marinade for about
20 minutes. In a medium-size skillet over high heat sear the tuna briefly,
until rare. Reserve on the side once done. Drain all the vegetables, dry
them and season with a little bit of lemon and olive oil to taste. Place a
small amount in the middle of the plate and add the thin slice of tuna on
top of it. Combine tapenade dressing and drizzle vinaigrette on tuna. This
recipe yields 4 servings.
