Thursday night I was asked to make a special with some beautifu sushi grade yellow fin tuna that we got in as a sample. So I looked through the walk in to see if there was anything that was not getting utilized. I came across a lot of arugula, and a huge amount of white beans. So i decided to make an arugula pesto. I made it with pecorino cheese, walnuts, lemon infused olive oil that I made my self about a month earlier & some of the white beans too. Next I roasted some red peppers and grilled the frisee. The white bean puree is a standard puree with a few whole beans tossed in with it. Finally I marinated the tuna in manni olive oil, fresh herbs, and a little Cayenne pepper. Then seared it on all sides. I really am pround of this dish because i utilized food from the walk in and becuase the flavors all work well with each other.
