1 large fennel bulb cut into quarters and then into thin slices
0.5 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper black
1 jalapeno minced
0.3 cup juice of lemon
2 navel oranges
0.5 cup olive oil
1 onion red chopped
0.5 head romaine lettuce cut into 1-inch pieces 3 cups
1.5 teaspoons salt
Equipment
bowl
knife
whisk
Directions
In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Add the oil slowly, whisking.
In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the tuna and chickpeas. Gently stir in 1/4 cup of the dressing.
Using a stainless-steel knife, peel the oranges down to the flesh, removing all of the white pith.
Cut the sections away from the membranes and set aside. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of the juice from the membranes into the remaining dressing.
Add the tuna and chickpeas, orange sections, lettuce, fennel, onion, jalapeo, and cilantro to the dressing and toss gently.
Wine Recommendation: Instead of the more traditional riesling, accompany this tuna with a Pfalz sptlese made from scheurebe. The wine's wild, even exotic scents of grapefruit, orange peel, minerals, and flint will be a pleasant and harmonious surprise.
