Tuscan-style Grilled Albacore Steaks, Braised Baby Artichokes, and Skillet Potatoes and Onions



Even though I never watch cooking shows on TV, www.foodnetwork.com is on of my favorite sites to look for recipes.  I found 2 great ones this week!  We bought these huge wheels of Albacore right off the boat in Ventura Harbor!  I could not believe how moist and delicious they were.  This was a perfect preparation technique that really enhanced the flavor of the Tuna.





By now, you know how much I love Artichokes!  Well, I've never cooked baby ones before & thought it would be neat to try.  This recipe is great.  I omitted the cheese because I really didn't think they needed it.  The delicate Wine, Lemon and Thyme flavors made these a perfect companion to the fish.  The leftovers will be great chilled, as well.  






One of the dishes I missed the most in the months we were without a grill are these amazing potatoes my husband makes in a cast iron skillet - the potatoes are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside while the onions caramelize in the high heat and olive oil.
