Ahi Tuna with mango salsa

[Twitchin Kitten]

I kind of made this up as I went along. Wanted something light and bold of flavor. The clementines did the trick!

Ahi Tuna steak with mango salsa and farro.

ingredients:

1. Tuna Steaks
   
2. clementines
   
3. mangoes
   
4. strawberries
   
5. celery
   
6. red onion
   
7. red pepper
   
8. scallions (2)
   
9. white Balsamic vinegar
   
10. Farro
    
11. craisins (chopped)
    
12. toasted pine nuts (SMALL handful)
    
13. peas (handful)
    
14. olive oil
    
15. salt & pepper to taste
    

Prepare your salsa:
*in this recipe I just kind of winged it on how much. Since I was cooking for 2 I didn't want too much left over. Just use your eye and add so it "looks good"

cube mangoes, strawberries, celery, red pepper, red onion and 1 (or less) scallion and mix in a bowl. Add a small amount of the white Balsamic vinegar and then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare your Farro:
as per package directions. this usually takes about 15 minutes. At the last 3-5 minutes or so (for frozen), throw in your peas and let finish cooking. *if using fresh peas, 2 minutes is plenty!
Drain and put back in the pot.
Add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the craisins, scallion and some pine nuts.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well and serve hot.

While the Farro is cooking, get the tuna into the pan!

Generously salt and pepper the tuna.
Put in pan with 3 Tbsp olive oil.
Let this saute on each side for a few minutes until you see it start to carmelize.
Cut 2 clementines ( ANY orange citrus will work. I had these on hand) and squeeze into and on top of your steaks.
Cover and let simmer on low for a few minutes more until the steaks are done to your likeness.

Plate and serve!
