Cooking method
Grilled tuna is a light summer dish that can be a good alternative to a boring barbecue. Everyone knows lamb or pork kebab, but tuna, and even in Cuban, is an exotic food…
I offer you a culinary recipe for this dish – simple and juicy, Hemingway-like self-sufficient. First we prepare the marinade. To do this, chop the garlic and shallots, as well as most of the cilantro, leaving a few sprigs to decorate the dish. Chopped greens are mixed with olive oil (you can replace it with sunflower, but the taste will not be the same). Add lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt to the marinade, mix it all together.
Now we take fresh or thawed tuna steaks, put them in the marinade and send them to the refrigerator for an hour so that the fish is properly soaked. Now all that remains is to get the fish out of the marinade and grill it. Tuna is cooked quickly, it will be enough to fry the pieces for 4 minutes on each side.
Is the fragrance driving you crazy already? A little more patience, it is necessary to eat such beauty solemnly! We carefully spread the fried steaks on a dish covered with fresh lettuce leaves, decorate with coriander and generously pour the remnants of the marinade on top. Grilled tuna in Cuban style is ready!
