Apparently everyone wants into the cookbook publishing business (me included)! Just saw Sheryl Crow on the Today show with her chef promoting her new healthy recipe book and Gwyneth Paltrow's new home style cooking was featured in this month's Food and Wine magazine. I tried her tuna nicoise recipe with some modifications, and although it was delicious, I would make additional changes including grilling the tuna versus roasting it and shortening the cooking time for the eggs.
Here's my version:
For 2
1 cup of green beans
1 Yellow pepper roasted
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 large red skin potato cooked
1/3 cup nicoise olives, sliced
Two 3 - 4 ounce tuna steaks
Two eggs
Olive Oil
Steam the green beans for 2 minutes in the microwave so they are crisp. Roast the yellow pepper on your grill, remove the skin and seeds and slice. Dice the cooked potato in 1/2 inch pieces. Assemble all the vegetables on a sheet pan or roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 minutes at 400.
Crack the eggs into individual ramekins that you have sprayed with oil. Drizzle a little olive oil and salt and pepper on the eggs and baked in your oven for about 9 - 10 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk's still runny.
Season the tuna with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and grill for a couple of minutes each side for rare to medium rare. Serve all together.
and here's hers:
yum!! I love everything about salad nicoise except for the hard boiled egg (I like all other eggs), so can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteps- Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow and Mario Batali are really good friends. I found that interesting!
