๐ฅ Description:
Summer on a plate – simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious! I love uncooked tomato sauces in the summer when the garden has an abundance of juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes. This one is for the garlic and lemon lovers, and it’s terrific served cold the next day! The prep time includes letting the tomato sauce sit and blend flavors, while the cook time is approximate only for the tuna steaks.
