About the dish

Tonno alla genovese is a traditional dish originating from Genoa. The dish is usually made with a combination of tuna steaks, onions, garlic, white wine, wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. The tuna is marinated in a mixture of onions, garlic, parsley, olive oil, black pepper, and wine. The cherry tomatoes on the vine are drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and baked for a few minutes. The mushrooms are sliced and sautéed in olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and the tuna steaks are then placed in the pan with white wine and cooked on both sides. They're seasoned with salt and pepper, sprinkled with parsley, and the dish is served with roasted cherry tomatoes. If desired, serve tonno alla genovese with a few lemon wedges on the side.
