Tuna steaks in lemon and white wine

Happy Thanksgiving!

May everyone feel lighthearted and blessed--because despite all of our troubles, we have much to be thankful for.

No turkey recipe but I have a few others...My friend Lauren wrote after she read the cod cakes recipe and asked for a tuna recipe...

So here is: Tuna with lemon and wine. Use steak-cuts of tuna...yellow fin is very nice for this.

tuna
a little olive oil
or butter or combination of both
some white wine
lemon juice
onions
garlic
parsley
capers
olives
red hot pepper, if desired
(may use a little paprika for color, or finish the dish with some diced sweet pimento)

On high heat pour the olive oil into a heavy fry pan, add sliced onions and garlic--when bubbling add the tuna and cook 2-3 minutes on each side.

Add white wine and lemon juice and lower heat. Cook for a few more minutes and then add parsley, capers, olives. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot. (Nice on a bed of rice with some of the juice...)
