These Sweet and Spicy Tuna Melts are inspired by a childhood memory: tuna salad with sweet French dressing. Recipe testing helped fine-tune the balance of flavors — sweet French dressing, spicy serrano, crunchy celery, and bright lemon zest – topped with quick-pickled shallots and your choice of American or sharp white cheddar.
Ten years after overcooking my first tuna steak, I revisit Ina Garten’s Seared Tuna with Mango Chutney and share exactly how to get it right. A thick-cut steak, a hard sear, and a ruby-red center make all the difference, balanced by sweet-spicy mango jalapeño chutney and fresh mint.
After spotting bluefin tuna, I knew I had to make Christine Gallary’s Crispy Rice with Avocado and Tuna Tartar – crispy rice is one of Alex’s favorite dishes to get at a restaurant so I save this recipe months ago knowing I needed to try it at home! And it was actually so much easier than I was anticipating.
