Tuna with Grapefruit Salsa and Pancooked Potatoes
This salsa is a homemade invention. It could hardly be called subtle, but it works well with the potatoes and tuna, I think....
Ingredients:
Tuna:
- 2x Tuna Steaks
- Olive Oil
- Salt, Pepper
Salsa:
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- Handful of coriander, chopped
- 3 tomatoes, core removed, chopped
- Half a grapefruit, chopped
- Salt, pepper
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1.5 Teaspoons of Honey
- Optional: half a red chilli, chopped finely
Pan cooked potatoes:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 300g of washed potatoes, diced
- 75g shallots, cut into .5cm rings
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- Salt, pepper
- Generous pinch of mixed herbs
Method:
First, make the salsa by mixing all of the ingredients in a big bowl. Allow the food to sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
Next, cook the potatoes: put olive oil in a large non-stick pan and add potatoes, shallots and salt pepper to the pan. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic & herbs and stir in then cook for a further 10 minutes until golden brown.
Finally, moisten tuna with olive oil season and leave to sit for 2 minutes. Cook on a preheated griddle until done (3 or 4 minutes per side should be sufficient).
