GRILLED TUNA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, CINNAMON AND MINT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onions, sugar, cinnamon and red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Stir in the mint and chopped parsley just before serving.
• Heat the grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the tuna on both sides with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 2 minutes each side.
