Love me a good tuna stake! Put it in a bowl and Im all yours. Today I made this Poppy Seed Seared Tuna Bowl. I had a whole package of poppy seeds at home and started to think what else besides baking I could use them for. Then I came up with the idea to use them as a crust for my tuna instead of using sesame seeds as I always do. By adding the poppy seeds and replacing white rice with black rice this tuna bowl turned out so good and rich.
I really love how the poppy seeds bring that extra crunch to the tuna stake. They are delicate but still have a distinct flavor and feel in the mouth.
