Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 10-ounce albacore tuna fillet, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
  • Olive oil (for poaching)
  • 1 large green onion, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 4 cups coarsely chopped escarole (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 8 1/2-ounce can baby lima beans, drained
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Method

  • Line heavy medium skillet with lemon slices. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper and place atop lemon. Add just enough olive oil to cover tuna. Poach tuna over medium-low heat until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer tuna to plate. Discard lemon slices.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add green onion and saute over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add escarole, lima beans, and 3 tablespoons parsley to skillet. Saute until escarole begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide escarole-bean mixture between 2 plates and top with tuna slices. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
