Tuna and Spaghetti Mediterranean Style

A little fancy fish Friday that's totally easy to make, low cal and full of flavour!

Ingredients:

2 tbsps olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 tsp minced garlic

1 bell pepper, sliced

1 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes

3 tsps capers

1/4 cup kalamata olives

1 tsp dry basil

1/2 tsp dry oregano

pinch of red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup chopped kale or spinach

3 or 4 tuna steaks (3-4 oz each)

fresh basil and/or parsley

1/2 lb spaghetti

In a large skillet cook the diced onion in olive oil until transparent, then add the garlic for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper and cook until softened. Next just dump in all the ingredients up to and including the kale. Stir everything together.

Start cooking the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water.

Now take those lovely pink tuna steaks and nestle them into the skillet with the sauce to poach.

Cover and simmer on medium until the tuna turns white. The picture below is at about 4 minutes (still a little pink)

But after about 8 minutes the tuna turns completely white. Add the chopped basil/parsley.

The pasta should be cooked by now so drain the spaghetti. Remove the tuna to a plate, keep warm.

Toss the spaghetti with the sauce and serve topped with that perfectly poached tuna.

Serves 3 or 4
