Grilled Tuna With Yellow Mole Sauce And Chayote Succotash Recipes

Steps:

• Brush the pineapple slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until softened slightly and nicely marked by the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature. Dice the pineapple slices (discard the tough core portions) and place in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the red onion, bell pepper, vinegar, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro and minced garlic. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and stir well to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and set aside as you prepare the tuna.
• Set a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with remaining salt and Essence and brush with the 2 remaining tablespoons of the olive oil. Place steaks on the grill, turning 45 degrees after 2 minutes. Repeat on the other side for an additional 2 minutes or until medium-rare. Remove from heat and set aside. Serve with the Grilled Pineapple Salsa.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Mix the tomatoes, corn, lima beans, butter and shallot together in a medium bowl. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Tear off four 12- by 18-inch pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. Put 1/4 cup of the basil leaves in the center of each piece of foil. Evenly divide the vegetable mixture (about 1 1/4 cup each) over the basil. Carefully fold each foil piece into a packet, bringing up the sides and double folding the top and ends to seal.
