You can turn tuna steaks into a great dinner with this simple recipe. Add any vegetable you like to make it your own, or substitute tuna for any fish you like or is in season.
Ingredients
- 4 x 170 gm tuna steaks
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
- olive oil
- 1 medium eggplant, cubed
- 1 red capsicum, seeded & cubed
- 1 green capsicum, seeded & cubed
- freshly ground salt & pepper
- chopped parsley
- 250 ml fresh tomato puree
- Harissa (hot red paste made from chili peppers)
- 150 gm soft butter
- 175 ml plain yoghurt
Method
- Saute onion and garlic in some olive oil. Then add eggplant, capsicum, seasoning, a little parsley and tomato puree.
- Turn heat down, mix in ½ tspn harissa and cook until vegies are just tender, stirring frequently. Check seasoning.
- Brush the tuna quite well with oil, season and cook on an heated oiled grill, BBQ, in a pan or even roast in oven. (Treat tuna like the steak of the sea - cook, at the most, to medium, as it will otherwise dry out and become tasteless.)
- At the same time, gently mix together butter, yoghurt, a little chopped parsley and ½ tspn harissa.
- To serve, place stew on 4 plates, top with a tuna steak, a dollop of butter mix a sprinkling of parsley.
