With the exception of fresh basil, all the ingredients for this dynamite no-cook topping for the grilled tuna come out of a can, bottle, or tin, keeping prep time down to just a few minutes.

Ingredients
1/4 cup
chopped pitted kalamata or niçoise olives
1/4 cup
diced roasted red bell peppers
2 tablespoons
capers, drained
2 tablespoons
thinly sliced fresh basil
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon
anchovy paste, optional
4
(6-ounce) ahi tuna fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Set aside.
Brush tuna with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness. Serve immediately with olive mixture.
POUR: A glass of Chardonnay makes a fine pairing with meaty fish such as tuna. Try a full-bodied New World (think Pacific Coast) wine such as Geyser Peak. In the mood for red? Pour Calera Pinot Noir from California's Central Coast.
