How to prepare parpatana?
1. Grilled:
Impress your guests with grilled parpatana. Marinate it with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs for 30 minutes. Grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and caramelized, achieving a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
2. Baked:
For a chef-worthy baked parpatana, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pieces on a tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and lemon. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tuna is tender and slightly golden.
3. Stews:
Make the most of the texture and flavor of parpatana in traditional stews. Add the pieces to a base of sautéed onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly and the meat to become incredibly tender.
