Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brodo

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in Calabrian chili paste and crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Chickpeas and Seafood

    Add chickpeas, mussels, and shrimp to the pot. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mussels open and shrimp are cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tuna

    While the brodo is simmering, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Make the Salmoriglio

    In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be drizzled over the grilled tuna.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, place a generous amount of the brodo in a bowl, top with grilled tuna, and drizzle with salmoriglio.
