Servings 2
Ingredients
For the sweet potato mash
- 2 medium sized Sweet potatoes
- 1-2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- Sea salt, to taste
For the seared tuna
- 2 Tuna steaks
- Sea salt
- Sesame seeds
- Sesame oil
For the grilled vegetables
- 1 Tomato
- 1/2 Zucchini sliced
- Olive oil, to fry
Instructions
- Start by baking/cooking the sweet potatoes. Either baking them on 200 degrees in the oven until soft or boiling/steaming them until soft. I prefer to bake them in the oven.
- When the sweet potatoes are soft and ready take them out of the oven or drain from the water and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat two grill pans over medium/high heat. One with some sesame oil and one with olive oil.
- Add the zucchini to the pan with olive oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until grill marks start to appear. Add the tomatoes and fry the tomatoes for 1 minute on each side and the zucchini for another 2-3 minutes on the other. Then turn off the heat.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and add all the spices. Mix using a hand mixer until smooth.
- Season the tuna steaks with salt and cover in sesame seeds.
- Add to the pan with sesame oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side (depending on how raw you prefer your steak).
- Place the sweet potato mash on two plates.
- Slice the tuna steaks and place on top of the potato mash.
- Add grilled vegetables on the side.
