Basil and coriander crusted seared tuna

Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 50g fresh basil
  • 10ml (2 tsp) coriander seeds, dry roasted for 2 minutes
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) sea salt
  • 5ml (1 tsp) lemon juice
  • splash of olive oil
  • 1 small red or green chilli, optional
  • 2 fillets of fresh tuna

Instructions

1

In a pestle and mortar, pound all of the ingredients, apart from the tuna, to form a chunky paste. Rub onto both sides of the tuna (be sure to cook within 30 minutes of adding the crust).

2

Sear the tuna in a very hot griddle pan or grill, turning only once to get great char marks.
