"Summertime and the living is easy.”   Or so goes the song.   As hot as this summer has been, it is nice to have a meal that requires only one pan and is quick to prepare.   I have previously prepared this dish using Steelhead Trout but wanted to make it with tuna.   Tuna is a part of Spanish cuisine and Steelhead trout is not. The tuna loin was simply seasoned with salt and pepper and saut é ed.   The next rendition will use an adobo spice rub from the Extramadura region. Thank you, Riverence for the great tuna to work with. Thank you, Diversified Ceramics for the great bowl to use with this dish. #FamilyFood #Tuna #Gazpacho #SummerMeal #Riverence #DiversifiedCeramics  As always, your questions or comments are welcome.
