Tuna burgers

Serves: 4

Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

Slaw
½ head cabbage, finely sliced
2 carrots, sliced into strips
60 ml (¼ cup) mayonnaise
juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Tuna Burgers
Westfalia Plain or Lemon Flavoured Avocado Oil, to drizzle
4 x 100 – 120 g fresh tuna portions
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
lemon juice, to drizzle
dried chilli flakes (optional)
4 brown burger buns, halved and toasted
mint leaves, to garnish

Instructions

For the slaw, place the sliced cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise and juice of 1 lemon to a large bowl and toss to coat all over. Season to taste and set aside until needed.

For the tuna burgers, heat a griddle pan over very high heat.

Drizzle the tuna portions with your choice of avocado oil and rub to coat all over. When the pan is smoking hot, sear the tuna, about 1 – 2 minutes per side.

Remove the tuna from the pan, season to taste, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle over dried chilli flakes, if desired.

To serve, place a portion of tuna on a toasted burger bun base, add slaw, garnish with mint leaves and finish with a burger bun top.
