Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Put a large pot of water on to boil.
• Toss tuna pieces in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, flake the tuna into bite-size pieces.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings. Use as a sandwich filling with your favorite bread.

ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, OLIVES, LEMON ZEST, AND ITALIAN TUNA ON PASTA SHELLS

Steps:

• In a 10-quart pot, bring the water to a brisk boil. Add salt and stir in the pasta shells. When the water returns to a boil, begin timing and cook al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse. Transfer the shells to a large serving bowl. Stir in the reserved pasta water to keep the pasta from sticking to itself. Pasta continues to cook and absorb water even when it has been drained. Add in the salsa cruda ingredients and toss. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.
• Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes
