[Sca-cooks] Camp cooking challenge

[Elaine Koogler]

Depending on your budget, you might try grilling fish.  I did it some years
back with a tuna loin that I purchased from our local fish monger.  We used
the tuna recipe from de Nola as follows:

*Libro de Cozina of Master Ruperto de Nola*, translated by Vincent F. Cuenca



Grilled Tuna



Take a piece of tuna from the part near the belly and clean it; and baste it
with oil, and brush also the grill and set it to roast over a few coals; and
baste them from time to time with oil and then prepare its light sauce with
water and salt and oil, and bitter orange juice and pepper and all the good
herbs torn up or chopped fine:  and when they wish to eat place our fish on
the plate and pour the sauce over it; and if you wish to make another sauce,
like for arugula or another it should be as you wish.



10 # Tuna

Olive Oil

Salt

Bitter orange juice (thin oj with white wine vinegar or use one of the Goya
bitter orange marinades)

Pepper

Tarragon, chopped fine

Cilantro, chopped fine



Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, then grill, basting from time to time with
oil.



Sauce:

Mix oil, water, salt, orange juice, white wine vinegar, pepper, tarragon and
cilantro.  Serve on the side with tuna steaks.


This was very successful and unbelievably easy!  You might be able to use a
different fish but be careful that it's solid enough to take grilling.
Folks at the feast who usually do NOT eat fish didn't even realize it was
fish!  Not that I'm into masking flavors or anything...I think it was just
that it was a presentation they'd never seen before and didn't associate it
with fish.
