MEDITERRANEAN TUNA SALAD
I found the original recipe in an article and tweaked it to my taste. Have to say that I like this Mediterranean version of tuna salad better than normal mayo/prepared mustard version. Spread into pita bread or on sandwich bread and enjoy... I like to add slices of Swiss or Cheddar cheese and a handful of fresh spinach leaves.

Turn, continue cooking or broiling leaving the door open for about 3 to 4 minutes for pink inside. For rare, cook less. The steaks should be well browned.

MOROCCAN TUNA PATTIES
I got this recipe from Greenseas Tuna. DS hates tuna and the the rest of us love tuna patties so its only when DS is not home that I can make anything with tuna in it. This recipe is a different version of making tuna patties and even though they are a little different to the normal tuna patties, they are delicious especially served with a nice side salad! The recipe calls for frying the patties but I cooked mine in the oven and they were fantastic!

Steps:
- Put the coriander, garlic, spices and lemon juice into a blender and blitz to a purée. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until you get a smooth, thick sauce. Set aside.
- Sit the tuna steaks in a non-metallic dish and cover with two-thirds of the sauce. Cover with cling film, then leave to marinate in the fridge for about 20 mins (or for up to 4hrs).
- Heat a griddle pan or grill. Shake off any excess marinade, season the tuna steaks, then cook for 2-4 mins, depending on thickness for medium rare, turning once (cook 2 mins more for well done). Drizzle over the remaining sauce paste to finish. Try serving with new potatoes; for a Moroccan twist, toss melted butter, harissa spice mix and chopped coriander leaves through the potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Short, sturdy pastas like penne, rotini, or fusilli are ideal for this salad because they can hold up to the other ingredients without getting too mushy.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy in the salad.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your salad. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and celery.
- Flake the tuna. This will make it easier to mix into the salad and will also help to prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is light and flavorful.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help to meld the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Moroccan pasta salad with tuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta and vegetables. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Moroccan pasta salad with tuna a try!
