"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.

  “Summer time and living is easy”, or so the song goes. Summer time, for me, is prime time to cook out, on the patio. This dish of grilled, Riverence Steel Head Trout on Gazpacho fit the “summer time and the living is easy” bill nicely! The chilled soup was made early. The garnish kept on the side. When the fish was quickly grilled, it was slipped into a cool-ish puddle of gazpacho and topped with the garnish.  Perfect dish for a hot summer eve! Thank you, Riverence for the great fish to work with. Thank you, Diversified Ceramics Corporation for the great bowl to use with this dish. #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood  As always your questions or comments are welcome.
