Wine-marinated tuna steaks baked beneath an onion, pepper and tomato cebolada.

About Bife de Atum
Ezilda Almeida’s Bife de Atum com Cebolada appears on Nham Nham – Sabores de Cabo Verde. Her baked tuna steaks carry a separately cooked topping of onion, peppers and ripe tomatoes.
White wine, garlic and bay flavour the tuna, with salt and pepper in the marinade. Olive oil brings richness to the vegetable cebolada spread over the fish.
The tuna remains in steak portions beneath the onion-and-vegetable topping. Cassava is the selected optional accompaniment, while the finished preparation keeps the fish and its cebolada together on the plate.
