This gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian recipe serves 4. A mixture of chives, brown rice, salt, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. To use up the orange zest you could follow this main course with the Orange-Infused Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Toasted Walnuts as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. 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. The GEN5 Merlot with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
