Seared Ahi Tuna On Peanut Capellini Recipes

SEARED AHI TUNA ON PEANUT CAPELLINI

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and coat in sesame seeds. Add tuna to the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes until golden, turn and continue to sear for another 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let tuna rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut tuna into ¼-inch thick slices.
• Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, garlic and ginger in a small microwave safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds or until peanut butter is softened. Whisk until smooth.
• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 2 minutes. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water for 30 seconds. Toss cooked pasta with the peanut sauce, carrots, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide peanut noodles between plates and top with sliced ahi tuna. Garnish with the chopped green onions.

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA CAPELLINI

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in capellini, bring back to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Squeeze lemon juice into a large bowl, removing all the seeds. Pour in olive oil and mix to combine. Mix in Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper until well combined. Add in tuna, flaking and separating larger pieces. Carefully fold in cannellini beans.
• Drain capellini pasta and add to the tuna mixture. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAKS

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.
