When Beveylon Concha spent some time in Honolulu, she came upon this tropical treatment for tuna. Now a personal chef in Chesapeake, Virginia, she still prepares the pineapple salsa for everything from grilled fish to pork and poultry. Ingredients:
1/2 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices |
1 small onion, diced |
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Grill pineapple slices, uncovered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side. Chill for 30 minutes.
2. Dice the pineapple; place in a bowl. Stir in the onion, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.
3. Brush tuna steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with pineapple salsa. Yield: 4 servings.
