Instructions
Roughly chop the onion, squash, peppers, and celery. Pulse in a food processor to mince.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the minced vegetables, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, prepare the rice according to the package directions. Season both sides of the tuna with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet and sear the tuna on both sides, working in batches if necessary, until the flesh is just pink in the center, about 6 minutes total. Arrange the tuna over the rice and cover with the Creole vegetable sauce.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Grgich Hills Estate Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 47 dollars per bottle.
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
A cool climate Merlot with bright fruit flavors and mouth pleasing acidity from Grgich Hills' vineyards in southern Napa Valley, grown without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. With wonderfully complex aromas of cranberries, cedar and toasted hazelnuts, this wine is the perfect partner with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb or roasted pork.
