Tuna with Tuscan Beans






Tonno E Fagioli

Tuna with Tuscan Beans gives this fish a rustic Italian flavor reminiscent of the old country. There is nothing like preparing this recipe from your Villa over looking the Mediterranean. Or in my case looking out the back door at my neighbors garage. Either way you should enjoy this classic recipe.

Seafood and beans are a common combination in many coastal towns in Italy. Italian seafood dishes are always a hearty and flavorful. You can always substitute this fish for halibut, swordfish or salmon if you wish.

This recipe should be made with the freshest ingredients possible in order to get the best results. But in order to expedite things I’ve used canned beans and tomatoes for this recipes.
