Grilled Tuna with Caponata Linguine Pasta
Our Sicilian inspired Bruschetta Caponata Relish pairs perfectly with tuna and pasta. It's a Mediterranean flavor combination that's ideal for summer evening dinners. We served our grilled tuna steaks over linguine pasta drizzled with fresh lemon, olive oil and salt and pepper with the caponata, fresh herbs and shaved parmesan over top.
