Method

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Tonnato Sauce

    In a food processor, combine canned tuna, capers, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and anchovy fillets. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Beans

  1. 2

    Prepare Coco Nero Beans

    In a saucepan, combine coco nero beans and vegetable broth. Add thyme and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes until beans are tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

Cooking the Fish and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Blister the Peppers

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced Jimmy Nardello peppers and minced garlic. Sauté until blistered and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Halibut

    In the same skillet, push the peppers to the side and add the Northern halibut fillets. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, create a bed of coco nero beans. Top with the halibut fillets and blistered peppers. Drizzle the tonnato sauce over the top and serve immediately.
