Ramiro is cooking “Bonito del norte en salsa de tomate”

“We assume you’re an experienced cooker so we will not set a fixed
amount for every ingredient because we trust in your ability
to “feel and taste” the proper amount”

Damn, Ramiro has a quite strong personality!!!!

You will need:(for four people a one inch slice per person (4 slices) will do.)

Bonito or Tuna Fish (as a second option). Check

Tomatoes

Tomato puree

Garlic cloves

Onion(s)

Olive oil (well you can use motor oil or something
like it in your fixed menu restaurant)

Salt

Eggs for a more sophisticated taste

Red peppers (Pimiento del piquillo)
just if you are cooking for your boy/girl friend.

How to make it.

Put some oil in a fried pan or similar recipient and add the sliced onion and garlic. Peel the tomatoes and add them to the pan when onions have a nice golden colour. Add tomato pure and add salt to your taste. Cook it slowly for a while taking care of it and removing when needed. Expect about 20 to 30 minutes. Add some white wine and water and let it cook very slow.

In another pan put some oil and slightly fry the tuna (30 seconds each face) you can pass the tuna filet over some flour and egg to improve the dish’s cache.

Remove the tuna and keep apart. If some oil is still in the pan add it to the sauce.

Put the tuna in the pan and cook it very slow for an additional 10 minutes. Then add the peppers. We use “Pimientos del piquillo” that surely are not available overseas, but this is just an option.

Enjoy!
