Pan Fried Tuna Steaks With Baba Ghanoush Recipes

Steps:

• Bhaba Ghanoush:.
• Preheat the grill to high. Grill the eggplants whole, turning them now and then, for 20-25 minutes until blackened. When cool, trim off the stalks, cut the eggplants in half and scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin and coriander. Season and process until smooth.
• Tuna:.
• Mix the oil, lemon zest and coriander. Lightly brush some of the mixture over the tuna and season. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan and fry the tuna in batches for 1 minute (or less) on each side (just long enough to sear the outsides and keep the fish juicy and tender). Remove from the pan and keep warm. Add the rest of the flavored oil to the pan, then fry the tomatoes for 1 minute.
• Serve:.
• Divide the baba ghanoush between 6 plates. Arrange a tuna steak and the tomatoes on top. Drizzle over any pan juices and serve with buttered spinach and/or potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise. Place cut side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil over cut sides. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and paprika. Bake until dark golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove eggplant from pan to a wire rack to cool., Peel skin from eggplant; discard. Put flesh into a food processor and pulse to mash; transfer to bowl. Stir in tahini, lemon juice, garlic and and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spoon into serving dish. Drizzle with additional olive oil. Sprinkle with parsley and additional paprika.

Steps:

• Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange oven racks so you have one low and one high in the oven.
• Cut a shallow slit along the side of the eggplant and place into a baking dish.
• Roast in preheated oven on the lower rack until the eggplant is completely shrunken and soft, about 40 minutes. Move dish to higher rack and continue baking until the skin is charred, about 5 minutes more. Let eggplant cool until cool enough to handle.
• Peel and discard skin from eggplant. Put eggplant into a bowl; add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir until ingredients are evenly mixed. Drizzle olive oil over the baba ghanoush and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
• Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
