Notes

Tonno con cipolla in agrodolce. Two main ingredients. For this dish you can use the fatter part of the tuna. If you have the choice. People usually use white onion for this dish. But the sweeter red onions somehow exalt the dish even more.Wine vinegar is less acidic than white vinegar. So if you plan to use that, go easy on the vinegar. No need for fancy vinegar.Instead of caster sugar some use honey. A spoon of honey is sufficient. What do we drink with tonno con cipolla in agrodolce? Red wine rather than white. And a solid one. We tried it with Etna rosso Nerello by Tornatore.
