In early summer, as tuna migrate past Sicily, fishermen harvest them in a centuries-old ritual called the mattanza. After buying tuna in the Sicilian town of Messina, Jacques Pépin prepared seared steaks with a red-wine sauce, oregano and briny capers.

Pairing Suggestion

Like most rich fish served with a red wine sauce, Pépin’s tuna steaks pair well with a light red wine (tannic reds can make the fish taste metallic or fishy). Sicily produces a number of affordable options. Look for the juicy 2005 Tasca d’Almerita Regaleali Nero d’Avola or the berry-inflected 2005 Gulfi Cerasuolo di Vittoria.
