About

The combination of tuna and mushrooms is quite unusual, but in this lovely light dish from Genoa, made with wild mushrooms picked in the woody hinterland, the two ingredients come together perfectly. The result is especially good when served with roasted cherry tomatoes and wedges of lemon.

Ingredients

4 tuna steaks, about 600 g/1 lb 6 oz total

Method

Put the tuna steaks in a large shallow dish or bowl, and add the onion and garlic, half the parsley, and 90 ml/6 tbsp olive oil. Season with plenty of ground black pepper.
