Fire Ice Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, sweat garlic and shallots in olive oil until shallots are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with orange juice and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Transfer mixture to blender. Add miso, wasabi and mirin. Blend until smooth.
• Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear tuna on grill, about 1 to 2 minutes per side for rare. Slice tuna and plate immediately on bed of white sticky rice and finely sliced radicchio and romaine. Drizzle with ponzu sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the potatoes, garlic, chili peppers, a pinch of parsley, salt, and black pepper, to taste. Add 3/4 cup of olive oil and mix well. Spread the potato mixture on an ovenproof pan, packing the mixture so it serves as a solid bed for the tuna.
• Spread half of the fennel seeds, lemon rinds, basil and pieces of plum tomato sparingly on top of the potato mixture. Add the tuna slices on top, covering the baking dish. Spread the remainder of the lemon rinds, crushed fennel seeds, and pieces of plum tomatoes on top of the tuna. Generously sprinkle with the bread crumbs, and drizzle the remaining extra-virgin olive oil on top.
• Bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the tuna to the bean mixture. Give a quick toss in the skillet, and then put the contents into a bowl.
• Scoop a cup of tuna and beans and put on a plate. Add the hummus as a side. Drizzle sesame oil on top of the hummus, and add grind some pepper on top.
• For the side salad: Toss the carrots, olives and pickles in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and balsamic vinegar to your liking. Serve on the side.

• Prepare a grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grate. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Just before grilling, toss the fire spices on the coals (or on the bars, ceramic bricks or lava stones of a gas grill).
• Sear the tuna all over, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice crosswise. Spoon the sauce onto plates, arrange the tuna slices on top and sprinkle with the radishes.
