Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 garlic cloves
5 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped gingerroot
2 tbsp chopped scallions
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
salt
1 cup diced ripe papaya
1 tbsp chopped mint leaf
2 tbsp olive oil
12 (1 1/2 oz) medallions fresh tuna filets
salt , and
white pepper

Directions:

Pesto:.
Combine all pesto ingredients in a food processor. Blend a few seconds until well mixed, but not pureed. Set aside at room temperature.
Chutney:.
Mix together Papaya and mint and set aside at room temperature.
Fish:.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Season the tuna on both sides with salt and white pepper then saute over medium heat until just done - about a minute on both sides. (Better to be a little underdone than over with lean fish like tuna or it will become dry.) Place the tuna on hot plates. Top with a spoonful of Pesto. Spoon the chutney on the side. Serve immediately.
