Trance di Tonno alla Calabrese (Tuna Steaks Calabrese Style)

Calabrian cuisine is, not surprisingly, full of amazing seafood. Calabria is the tip of Italy’s “boot,” and as such as miles and miles of coastline. Like most Italian regional cuisine that you can explore on our Italy cooking vacations, in particularly in the south, it is characterized by a few, simple, pure ingredients combined to make a delicious dish.
During this time of year, we think there is nothing better than a light and savory fish dish! We asked our very own Chef Rosanna from Capo Vaticao in Calabria to offer an easy and delicious regional fish recipe for you to make at home!
