Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tuna steaks
1 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves , crushed
few thyme sprigs
500g bag new potato , sliced about 1cm thick
2 red peppers , cut into large chunks

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put in a roasting tin to heat up. Put the tuna in a shallow dish with half the oil, two-thirds of the garlic and leaves from 1 sprig of thyme. Leave to marinate while you cook the veg.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs fresh tuna
