    Great dish! The only problem I ran into was that the beans turned out very soupy (I mashed in a boiled potato to thicken them up. I would recommend only adding a little broth at first, then puree the beans. Add more broth to the food processor as needed.

    I purchased tuna today and looked for recipes. SCORE!!! OMG this was wonderful. The amazing thing is that I had EVERY ingredient except fresh tarragon. I used dry. This recipe is fantastic, simple yet delicious. I made the white bean puree and olive tapenade ahead of time and just reheated the puree before serving. The tomatoes and herbs came from my garden as did the greens. The chicken stock was homemade. I want to make this again for guests. I served it with a wonderful white wine and a beautiful salad from my garden.

    This was great
    I made for 2 people made as recipe but halved the quantity of the bean paste as I thought 2 cans would be to much for 2 people and it was exactly right, as someone else suggested after I pureed the paste I added some finely chopped red bell pepper for a bit of texture and heated it through in the paste, I also did not have any anchovies so subbed it with a squeeze of anchovy paste. Great recipe would definately do again

    WoW! I made this for an intimate family dinner celebration, and it was a hit. Some wanted the tuna med rare, some well done, it didn't matter. the taste of the bean puree, olive tapenade and the broiled tomatoes was a perfect match for the tuna. I made the tapenade and puree ahead of time, so getting dinner ready was a snap. Way to go Tyler - another hit out of the park.

    A dinner. Like the other review, without even reading it before I ate this meal, i told my wife, "I'd pay serious money to eat this at a restaurant and would send rave reviews back to chef" Awesome dinner - must try.

    The bean dip is great I would definately make this again, super easy... but use less if any anchovies and maybe add tiny diced red bell pepper and pinch of fresh thyme. The sweet bell pepper and creamy bean would be great even as a spread on toasted bread. The infused oil was awesome, I heated the oil slightly for under a minute just to have some of the oils from the red pepper flakes infuse more, then let it sit at least an hour. This dish would be great with salmon as well as tuna. The olive tapanade I tweaked by adding some capers just because I like them. This recipe worked out well.

    We looooved this recipe! It was simple and easy to make. Once we had all of our ingredients together it probably took less than 30 minutes start to finish. The white bean puree was AMAZING and we've served it with several other meals since. Don't miss out on this one!

    This was a great dish. The puree was so tasty, I used it as dip. It was pretty easy to make, honestly wait to eat it was the hardest part.
