Ingredients


4-6oz tuna, shark, or swordfish steaks about 1/4 in thick
25 large fresh basil leaves
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup whole almonds, toasted
3/4 pound plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped

Preparation


In a food processor, drop garlic, basil, and almonds and pulse pouring the olive oil in a few times. Add tomatoes, and olives and pulse until mix resembles paste. Season and add the bread crumbs. Pulse a few times.

Tip. I like to add the chopped tomatoes last so they are still in little chunks Season with salt and pepper.
