Grilled Tuna With Green Olive Tapenade
October, 2002

Serves 4 / Tuna is a great fish for grilling—its meaty texture holds up well on the grill, and it looks beautiful under a spoonful of green olive tapenade.

4 tuna steaks, 6 ounces each
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup green olives
2 teaspoons capers, drained
Juice of two lemons
4 lemon wedges, for serving

1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. In a food processor, coarsely blend garlic, green olives, capers, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil, keeping the consistency slightly chunky. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
3. Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes each side. Remove and spoon tapenade over the fish. Serve immediately and garnish with lemon wedges.

In marketing natural products in the food service industry, we have gone out of our way to define natural as we all did years ago in the natural products industry. No artificial flavors, colors, minimally processed, no preservatives and now, non-GMO.  I vote to maintain natural as a certification that our industry supports and defines.
