Mediterranean-Style Recipes

If you’ve already bought Dr. Guttersen’s book, The Sonoma Diet, hopefully you’ve tried some of the delicious recipes included. If you don’t have the book yet, find two Sonoma Diet recipes here. Try them out; if you like them, go buy the book for many more.

As you become accustomed to cooking in the Mediterranean (or Sonoma) way, you may find yourself creating your own recipes, as I have. I’ll share some of mine in upcoming blogs. If you would like to share too, please use the comments box to submit your recipes.

Jean’s Tuna Tamarindo
(Serves 2)

2 T. olive oil
2 1-inch thick tuna steaks
Seasoned salt
1 medium bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
½ c. dry white wine (or fat-free chicken broth)
¼ c. sweet and sour tamarind sauce

Season the tuna steaks and bell pepper to taste with seasoned salt. Heat olive oil in frying pan, add tuna and sear on both sides. Remove to plate. Add bell pepper strips to hot oil; sauté until soft. Deglaze pan with wine (or broth). Return tuna to pan. Put 2 tablespoons of tamarind sauce atop each steak. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
