One area that we all like to make improvements in, is in the area of what we eat; our diets. We receive many letters from women and men looking to eat for health. They want their food to not only nourish them but to also make them feel better. Mood swings and bouts of irritability can be traced to what we eat. The kind of foods and yes, the amounts, affect our temperaments. This week's Recipe of the Week features Whole Wheat Linguini and Fresh Tuna. This recipe is from Molly Siple's best seller Recipes for Change. This recipe goes a long way to satisfy hunger, load you up on important nutrients, and eliminate those mood sings and periods of irritability. Whole Wheat Linguini and Fresh Tuna (makes 4 generous servings) If you are on a diet and have cut back on calories, you won't get so hungry if the foods you're eating are premium and full of nutrients. Choose whole wheat pasta over white-flour pasta and you'll have the advantage of extra vitamins and minerals. This dish is high in selenium- in the pasta, tuna, carrot, and garlic- which keeps your skin supple. What you need: 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound of fresh tuna steak, about 1 inch thick cut into 1 inch cubes 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper 1 onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 1 stalk of celery, diced 4 cloves of garlic, minced 8 plum tomatoes, chopped, plus 4 regular tomatoes, cubed (see Note) 1 cup of chicken stock 1/4 teaspoon thyme or tarragon Rind of 2 lemons, grated plus 2 strips of zest 2 bay leaves 2 quarts water, boiling 3/4 to 1 pound whole wheat linguini 1/4 bunch parsley, stems removed, minced What you do: In a large skillet heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add tuna and sauté 2 minutes until browned on outside, turning several times. Inside will still be pink. Remove from pan and set aside in a small bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and in, the same pan, add remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Sauté onion, carrot, celery, and 3 cloves garlic until vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes, stock, thyme, lemon-zest strips, and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Cook on medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, uncovered, until slightly thickened. Cook linguini a large pot according to package directions. Do NOTcook al dente. Drain pasta and do NOT rinse. Return tuna to sauce, reduce to low heat, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or longer until the fish flesh is opaque, stirring occasionally. Discard strips of lemon zest and bay leaves. Taste, adding salt and pepper as needed. In a small bowl combine parsley, grated lemon rind, and remaining garlic and set aside. Place pasta in a serving bowl or platter. Spoon the tuna sauce on top. Generously sprinkle with parsley mixture and serve immediately. NOTE: Pomi brand tomatoes come in an aseptic container which can be found in the canned-tomato section of a store. These have a shorter shelf life but the tomatoes are better tasting since they have not been incans. We find this type of tomato product fine to use on occasion when fresh tomatoes are not in season. Sue's Shrimp Scampi I've made this about a hundred times and my whole family loves it. The trick is to keep the fingers away form the shrimp as you are frying them. The kids and also the hubby find their way onto the platter of cooked, seasoned shrimp and I have to shoo them away, otherwise there wouldn't be any for dinner : ).
