Couscous with Tomato Salsa and Tuna

01Method

1. 1

   Cook the couscous following the package directions.

2. 2

   Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Remove the cores and seeds from the tomatoes. Peel and slice the red onion. Halve the chili pepper and remove its seeds. Do the same with the red pepper.

3. 3

   Dice all the prepared vegetables and combine in a bowl. Crush and add the garlic, then stir in the chopped herbs, toasted nuts, a pinch of salt and pepper, the juice from the lime, and the olive oil.

4. 4

   Gently fold the fresh herb and tomato mixture into the cooked couscous. Sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet with a small amount of oil, cooking each side for approximately one minute.

5. 5

   This will result in a rare preparation. If you prefer your tuna more thoroughly cooked, simply extend the cooking time on each side accordingly.
