grilled tuna on curried couscous
Ingredients - Serves 4 Method
250g tuna steaks
50ml Grappolini Paneolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
160ml fish stock
80g couscous
1 tsp mild curry powder
1g saffron threads
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 tsp capers

Season the tuna with the salt, pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Leave in a dish to marinate for about 1 hour.
Refrigerate. Bring the fish stock to boil in a pan.

In a frying pan, fry the garlic and onion until soft and translucent. Add the curry powder and saffron and fry again for another few minutes.

Pour in the stock and the couscous and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to rest until all the stock has been absorbed.

On a hot grill, grill the tuna on both sides according to your liking. To serve put 3 tbsp of couscous on a flat plate, place the tuna on top and spread the chopped tomatoes mixed with extra virgin olive oil and capers around the fish.

Tuna should preferably be served underdone, rare to medium, to achieve a pleasant and moist taste.
