SEARED TUNA ON SPICED LENTILS SALSA
Steps:
- Cook the lentils in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Drain and cool them. Place the chilli and ginger in a pan with the onion, garlic, ground cumin and seeds, water and balsamic vinegar and simmer with a lid on for a few minutes, stirring well so that all the flavours infuse. Remove the mixture from the heat and pour into a bowl with the drained lentils. Add the soy sauce, ketchup and chilli sauce, stir well and gradually add the olive oil and chopped coriander. Season with salt and pepper, cover and leave in the refrigerator overnight (if time allows). Season the pieces of tuna and cook them on a griddle pan or heavy-bottomed frying pan for 2 minutes on each side. The ideal way to eat tuna is rare, otherwise it becomes dry. Once cooked, serve the tuna on warmed plates with a couple of spoonfuls of lentils and some salad leaves, such as rocket, lightly dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

[email protected]This was a great recipe! The lentils were cooked perfectly and the salsa was delicious. The seared tuna was a bit overcooked for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, I really enjoyed this dish and would definitely make it again.
