Cena de atun

The other night we had fresh tuna for dinner (Sonia said it came from Tacuarembo - not sure what kind of species of fish we're talking about).

Here's our elegant table, set for us two:


On the menu: fresh tuna, cut into steaks, lightly floured with the sides crusted in sesame, and sauteed. Served on a bed of vegetables in a red wine (tannat) sauce.


Also, spinach bunuelos: a spinach dough creation, fried until crispy on the outside, and warm and soft on the inside.


For dessert, a fresh pear poached in red wine, served with helado (ice cream) of three flavors: vanilla, strawberry, and dulce de leche. Our helado always comes drizzled with blueberry sauce or chocolate. :)

  2. Yeah, I definitely need the recipe for those. I tried making something similar at home, but baked more like a casserole, and it was an epic fail. Just ask John.
