Instructions
  1. In a pot, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add a chopped spring onion and a pinch of salt, cooking until tender.
  2. Stir in 7 chopped, very ripe tomatoes and a splash of white wine. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes.
  3. After 40 minutes, use a food mill or blender to pass the sauce for a smooth texture.
  4. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add 4 halved garlic cloves and cook until golden. Remove the garlic, then add the floured tuna loins, searing two at a time for about 1 minute on each side until browned but juicy inside.
  5. Drain the tuna loins on a plate, then gently transfer them into the tomato sauce and maintain on low heat for at least another minute.
  6. Remove from heat and serve the tuna warm, generously spooning the tomato sauce over each portion. Enjoy your delicious home-cooked meal!
