Steps for Preparation
- Combine olives, garlic, anchovies, and basil
in a food processor; blend into a fine paste.
- Scrape sides, cover, and gradually add half
of the oil in a thin stream. Process until smooth and thick.
- Position a mandolin fitted with a grooved cutting
blade over a container or bowl. Cut zucchini and squash into long
thin ribbons. Stop cutting when seeds are reached.
- Prepare grill. Rub tuna with remaining oil.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on each side.
- Check for doneness of each fillet using a Cook'd
Right® Sensor.
- Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center
of fillet. Wait 5-10 seconds.
- Remove sensor tip and check color.
- Continue checking with the same sensor until
done.
- Discard sensor when finished.
- Fillet is done when tip of sensor is fully
orange, at about 4 minutes.
- Combine zucchini, squash, butter, and water
in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cover and cook
until squash has wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley.
