"The warm mango salsa perfectly complements the tuna and noodles in this delicious and filing dish. I'm a huge fan of tuna and when cooked correctly, it's one of those fishes that just melts in the mouth."
Serves: 2Cooking time: approx. 12 minutes, plus making the salsaGluten free if using gluten-free noodles.
Ingredients:
1 quantity of mango, orange and coriander salsa (see recipe below)1 tbsp olive oilA generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper250g/9oz dried egg noodles2 tuna steaks
Method:
1. First make the mango, orange and coriander salsa (see recipe below).
2. Next, cook the tuna. Put the olive oil and pepper on a plate, add the tuna steaks and spoon over the oil so both sides of the steak are covered.
3. Put the noodles in a pan and add 11ltr/1¾pt of boiling water. Place the pan of noodles over a low-to-medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles then add the salsa and noodles back into the warm pan. Toss so all are combined then place the pan over a low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly so that the salsa is warmed through. Remove from the heat, put the lid on and set to one side.
4. To sear the tuna, place a griddle pan (or use a frying pan) on the hob over a high heat. When the pan is hot (it will start to smoke a little), place the tuna in the pan and cook on one side for 1½-2 minutes then turn the tuna over and cook on the other side for a further 1½-2 minutes. Ideally, the tuna should still be a little pink in the middle.
5. To serve, scoop the noodles into warm bowls and place the tuna on top.
