Rich, buttery ventresca meets a herbaceous pesto that’s soft, green and aromatic rather than punchy — a lovely balance between indulgence and freshness. The basil and pine nuts wrap around the tuna’s natural fattiness, giving a luxurious but not heavy finish.

Serving suggestion: Serve over warm baby potatoes with green beans and cherry tomatoes for a “reverse Niçoise.” Alternatively, add straight to warm pasta with a squeeze of lemon.
 
Wine matches: Vermentino (Italy) or a Margaret River Chardonnay (lightly oaked).
