I just taught a super tough Spinning class and was in the mood for something tasty but didn't want to spend a whole lot of time making it. I hit up Wholefoods with my gf with fish in mind and quickly walked out with a pound of really nice tuna, watercress, tomatoes, and Camembert cheese with Iggy's crusty bread for something to munch on.
Preparat
ion is a cinch! Simply coat the tuna in black sesame seeds, start a pot with wild rice, and prep the ingredients for the salad. The side salad was mixed with white vinegar, sea salt, lemon juice, and the tossed with chopped fresh mango, quartered tomato, and red onion. Watercress is sort of spicy on its own - sort of like arugula, so adding the mango for sweetness cuts out the bitterness. Heat up a skillet or cast iron pan at high heat and sear the tuna on both sides for literally no more than 60 - 90 seconds for rare. Overcooked tuna is very dry and not a whole lot of fun to eat. Make sure the rice is cooked before you start cooking the tuna - basically 10-15 minutes,
and you'll have a complete gourmet meal in under 30 minutes.
Oh I had the Camembert heating in my toaster oven at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes until the center literally poured out of the center and ate it with baguette and red raspberry jam.... oh my god!!!
One of my favorite and light meals to date!
Enjoy :-)
