Marinated Ahi Tuna with Bulgur Wheat Salad

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 1-2 minutes

Serves: 6

 

Ingredients:

 

6 small ahi tuna steaks

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon honey

 

Bulgur Wheat Salad:

1 cup dry bulgur wheat

1 red onion, diced

1 red capsicum (pepper), diced

6 radishes, diced

1 can Canellini beans, drained and washed

Bunch of coriander, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

½ lemon, juiced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

 

 

Method:

 

• Cut the tuna steaks into small chunks and marinate with the soy sauce, garlic and honey. Set aside and rest for a couple of hours.

• Pour 1 ½ cups of boiling water over the bulgur wheat, cover with a lid and leave until all the water is absorbed (about ½ hour).

• Add the onion, capsicum, beans and coriander to the bulgur wheat and season with olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt & pepper. Mix until combined. (Alternatively, you can also use cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, parsley, mint etc.)

• Cook the tuna on the BBQ over high heat for about 1-2 minutes. Tuna should be seared, but still slightly raw inside.
