Preparation time : 15 minutes
Ingredients
These are the ingredients that you must collect to prepare a serving for 3 or 4 people:

We place the loins to brown in a saucepan with four tablespoons of olive oil.
When they are golden on both sides, season and add the minced garlic along with the wine, the juice of half a lemon and the mustard.
Raise over moderate heat until the sauce begins to thicken and add the chopped parsley.
Instead of mincing the garlic, you can cut it into thin slices. Garnish with lemon wedges. A good accompaniment to this dish is boiled or mashed potatoes.

Tuna with garlic from Isla Cristina
One of the main fishing areas for tuna is Isla Cristina. This municipality in Huelva has fishing as its primary economic activity, which is why some of the best products on the market are available. Although tuna can be prepared in many ways, Isla Cristina's garlic tuna is one of the best known and most famous.
Ingredients:
- Half a kilo of tuna (if you can choose, nothing like the part called Tarantelo. A triangular-shaped piece that the tuna has. It is located very close to the loin and before the so-called white tail).
- Half a glass of vinegar
- Two cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- Cumin
- Salt and pepper
Preparation:
First, cook the tuna in water with salt and vinegar. Once cooked, remove it and cut it into chunks or slices. Meanwhile, crush the garlic and cumin together. You can add another tablespoon of vinegar if you like. Now, season each piece of tuna with salt and pepper and coat it with the garlic and cumin mixture. Place the pieces in a container and drizzle with oil until each piece is well coated. Finally, let it marinate overnight and serve it chilled.
Cold garlic tuna recipe
Ingredients:
- Half a kilo of tuna loin
- Half lemon juice
- 4 dientes de ajo chopped
- Laurel
- Nails
- Pinch of pepper
- Sal Island
- Parsley
- Olive oil
Preparation:
We will put on the fire a pot with water, the lemon juice, the salt, as well as the cloves and the bay leaf. Just when it starts to boil, we will have to add the tuna loin. We are going to leave it for about 12 minutes. Once this time has passed, we remove it from the heat and we pass it through cold water.
Now it's time to season the tuna with salt and pepper and place it on a tray. Separately, mix the garlic and parsley. Now it's time to slice the tuna into thin strips.
We will place them in a large container. On them, we will add the garlic and parsley mixture, to add more layers of tuna on top. Finally, we will add oil to cover it. In the same way as in the previous recipe, we have to let it rest in the fridge. To do this, nothing like always doing it the day before. Of course, it will be served cold.
