A delight not to be missed

Tuna with sweet and sour onions is a typical Sicilian recipe, slices of red tuna fried in a pan and flavored with sweet and sour onions. The original Sicilian recipe requires that for this preparation the part of the tuna belly, called "surra", the fattest part, be used. As for onions, however, white onions are used.
