Fresh Tuna (ideas please)

[chicagomum]

Bought some tuna steaks today and generally sear them with teryiaki sauce but wondered if anyone had some other recipes.

I cooked some in the oven wrapped in foil with a sauce made from tinned toms, onion, garlic and tom puree (cooked first, then liquidised).

I also do lime juice and rind and fresh ginger, but then I put them in a parcel of tinfoil in the oven for about 20 mins.

serve with baby new potatoes and a lovley salad.

gorgeous.

Have to sya that I love my tuna very simply done - a squeeze of a lemon, a dribble of light olive oil and some chopped parsley. Done for about 1.5-2 minutes on a hot George grill. Mmmmm. Had them for dinner last night.

This is from WWW and is in the cookbook I am publishing (due to be out in February!!!):

Tuna steak with honey garlic and ginger

2 tuna steaks

2 tablespoons of honey

2 cloves of garlic (less if you like)

1 tsp ginger

Dash lemon juice

Mix up the honey, ginger, garlic and lemon juice. Marinate the tuna steaks in the mixture for as long as you?ve got. Get a griddle pan hot and put the tuna in the pan to cook. Cook it as you would best fillet steak ? we do it for about 30 seconds on each side so it?s cooked for only about a millimetre all round but completely raw within. Bet Nigella Lawson would say ?quiveringly, meltingly rare? but I?m not that pretentious! You probably like it cooked for longer than I do anyway.

Where do you all buy your fresh tuna, it's very expensive in Waitrose. Would a fishmonger's be a better bet?

My Dh does the most amazing salad.

Sear the tuna which has marinated with some 5 spice powder and oil. Then dh makes a cold noodle salad with some cooked veg (carrot/mange tout/spring onion) The dressing is lime/soy/tamarind water and some chopped chillies.

Mmmm might get some tomorrow.
