- Step 1
Soften the shallots in butter in a heavy nonaluminum saucepan. Remove the stems from the sorrel, shred the leaves and add them to the pan. Cook until wilted.
- Step 2
Add the chicken stock and bring to boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and allow to simmer gently until thickened. If the sauce gets too thick, cover and keep warm. It can be thinned with more chicken stock.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat broiler or coals. Brush the tuna with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil about six inches from heat, turning once, until cooked to desired doneness (some people like their tuna rare; others prefer it well done. It should not be overcooked, however, or it will dry out).

This is a great sauce. I have two sorrel plants and used them for this recipe. Whole family loved it. Cant imagine having fresh grilled tuna any way except pretty rare! With a salad, and seasoned rice/quinoa mix, it was a great summer dinner.

A recipe for all that sorrel growing outside. Plain grilled tuna (we did it on a gas grill) with a lovely seasonal condiment. I kept it at the thick stage and spooned it around the tuna. The sorrel flavor compliments the fish.
