Jazz up tuna with Moroccan spices for a super fast meal. Ingredients:
1 ounce cilantro (leaves and stalks) |
3 garlic cloves |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt and pepper |
4 (8 ounce) tuna steaks, each about 1in thick |
Directions:
1. Put the cilantro, garlic, spices and lemon juice into a blender and blitz to a paste. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until you get a smooth, thick sauce. Set aside.
2. Sit the tuna steaks in a non-metallic dish and cover with two-thirds of the sauce.
3. Cover with plastic wrap, then leave to marinate in the fridge for about 20 mins (or for up to 4hrs).
4. Heat a griddle pan or broiler. Shake off any excess marinade, season the tuna steaks, then cook for 2-4 mins, depending on thickness for medium rare, turning once (cook 2 mins more for well done).
5. Drizzle over the remaining sauce paste to finish.
6. Try serving with new potatoes; for a Moroccan twist, toss melted butter, harissa spice mix and chopped cilantro leaves through the potatoes.
