Chilli & pine nut-crusted tuna with tomato and dill salad

Cooking Fish Chilli & pine nut-crusted tuna with tomato and dill salad

Add texture and a bit of kick to tuna steaks with this pine nut and chilly crust.

  1. Place the chilli flakes, pine nuts and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs (be careful not to over process or the mixture will turn into a paste). Coat the tuna in the nut crust, then chill for 15 minutes to firm up.
  2. Combine lemon zest and juice, garlic, sugar and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl and season. Toss with the olives, tomato and dill.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a frypan over medium heat. Sear tuna for 2-3 minutes each side until the crust is golden but the tuna is still rare in the centre. Serve with the tomato salad.
