The perfect dinner for when you're in a hurry but don't want to compromise on flavour or nutrition!
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 fresh tuna steaks
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Black pepper to taste
Squeeze of lemon juice
Savoy cabbage or other green vegetable
400g tin of cannellini beans or similar
Extra virgin olive oil to drizzle
Method:
1. Fry the tuna in 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a pre-heated, deep frying pan for a couple of minutes on each side until cooked.
2. Add black pepper to taste and a squeeze of lemon juice.
3. At the same time, heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan, add the garlic and heat together for a minute.
4. Add the cannellini beans to the garlic with two tablespoons of liquid from the tin. Simmer gently for a few minutes while the tuna cooks.
5. Remove the tuna from the heat and allow to rest. Meanwhile, steam the Savoy cabbage for a few minutes, and roughly mash the cannellini beans.
6. Serve the tuna on a bed of beans with the Savoy cabbage. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Enjoy!
Note: Always limit the amount of tuna you eat due to the mercury levels. Add coriander to a salad when eating tuna as this helps to bind the mercury. Chlorella also helps detox mercury.
