Ingredients

  • 5 fresh tomatoes
  • 8 baby corn cobs
  • 1 small red chili
  • 1 pinch chili powder
  • 1 onion
  • 1 pineapple ring
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • juice of half a lime
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tuna steaks
  • 2 yellow bell peppers
  • drizzle olive oil
  • 200 g couscous
  • 12 apple
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
  • 12 teaspoon chili powder
  • juice of half a lime

Method

  • In a blender, or large bowl, add finely chopped: tomatoes, chili, one of the yellow bell peppers, pineapple ring and onion.
  • Also, the chili powder, olive oil, water and juice of half a lime.
  • Some bits of the pepper, tomato, onion, pineapple, should remain chunky but most should be small.
  • Blend the ingredients together until there is a small amount of sauce formed, enough to coat the steaks when in the pan.
  • Stir in the baby corn cobs after this, so they remain whole.
  • For the cous cous, boil enough water for what you need and measure it out, I usually use just under 1 cup, add the juice of half a lime to the water and the finely chopped apple pieces, pumpkin seeds and chili powder, then stir in the cous cous.
  • If there is more water required, add it tablespoon by tablespoon.
  • Leave to stand while you cook the tuna.
  • In a pan, drizzle a small amount of oil, add the sauce to the pan and the large chunks of a yellow bell pepper, heat the pan, add the tuna steaks, making sure they are coated in the sauce.
  • Fry on one side until you see the colour change rise to the middle of the steak, then flip over and cook the other side.
  • Tuna cooks quickly so be careful not to wait to long.
  • Serve the Tuna steaks with the cous cous at the side and the yellow bell pepper, corn and other chunky pieces of vegetables.
