Tuna Crepe Stack Recipes

TUNA CREPE STACK

Steps:

• FOR CREPES: Sift flour into med bowl & make a well in the center. Add eggs, oil + 1/4 cup milk & beat till smooth. Beat in remaining milk & refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.
• Heat crepe pan & grease lightly (or spray w/PAM). Ladle 2-3 tbsp of batter into pan, swirling batter evenly around pan to coat the base.
• Cook over med-heat till crepe is lightly browned. Then turn the crepe to lightly brown the other side & turn out on a plate.
• Repeat process using remaining batter to make about 12 crepes & set aside with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese.
• FOR TUNA SAUCE FILLING: Heat butter in med saucepan. Add onion & stir constantly till onion is soft.
• Stir in flour & cook for 2 min, continuing to stir.
• Gradually add milk, stirring constantly over mod high-heat till mixture boils & thickens.
• Add flaked tuna, peas, parsley + cheese & stir till mixture is well-combined.
• TO ASSEMBLE & COOK STACK: Preheat oven to 350°F
• Place a crepe in a rd baking dish (or springform pan) & spread with 1/4 cup of the tuna sauce. Repeat layering w/remaining crepes & sauce.
• Sprinkle top of stack w/the reserved 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese & bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven & allow to rest for 2-3 minutes.
• TO SERVE: Use a sharp knife to cut stack into 8 wedges for a brunch or luncheon entree -- or 6 wedges for a dinner entree. As a starter course, I think it best to roll the crepes individually, place them in a casserole dish for baking topped w/the cheese & then serve 1 per person (halved on a sml plate).

TRIPLE CITRUS TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare marinade: Whisk orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, red onion, habanero pepper, vinegar, garlic, and oregano together in a bowl large enough to hold the tuna steaks.
• Prepare salsa: Combine mango, red onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Set aside.
• Prepare tuna: Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Place in the bowl with the marinade and turn to coat. Marinate for about 30 minutes.
• While tuna is marinating, crush potato chips as fine as possible in a blender. Transfer to a bowl.
• Remove tuna from the marinade and press into the crushed chips until both sides are well coated.
• Heat heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and heat until butter melts and foam subsides. Add tuna and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet.
• To serve, top tuna with chile sauce and serve with jasmine rice and mango salsa.

TASTY TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of whole fennel seeds, and cook until they bubble and begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic and red bell pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the fish bouillon until dissolved, then add the lemon juice, white wine, and bok choy. Cook and stir until the bok choy is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine some salt and pepper with the crushed fennel seeds on a plate. Press the tuna steak into the salt mixture on both sides. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over high heat. Place the tuna steak in the skillet, and cook until browned on both sides and cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 45 seconds per side for rare.
• Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange onto a serving platter. Top with the bok choy mixture to serve.
