Ingredients

  • 1 pack sweetcorn kebabs
  • 2 tsp olive oil, for brushing
  • 240g pack No.1 Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
  • ½ tsp Ottolenghi Citrus & Spice Seasoning, to serve
  • ½ Romaine lettuce, or about 6 leaves, to serve
  • Butter, to serve (optional)

For the salsa

  • 1 mango, diced
  • 100g baby plum tomatoes, finely diced
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 25g pack coriander, leaves finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely diced, to taste
  • 1 lime

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan or griddle pan over a high heat until smoking. Brush the sweetcorn with oil, then griddle for 4-5 minutes until a little golden in places. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until tender.

  2. Meanwhile, mix all the salsa ingredients together, season to taste, then set aside.

  3. Brush the tuna with the remaining oil, then season with salt. When the corn is nearly ready, bring the pan to smoking hot and sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes each side for rare, or 2-3 minutes each side for well done, making sure the fish is cooked all over, including the edges. Remove from the pan, allow to rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and scatter with the citrus and spice seasoning.

  4. Serve the tuna with the salsa and lettuce leaves for wrapping, with the corn on the side, buttered, if liked.

A pack of mango chunks will help you to shave off some prep time.
