Chermoula Tuna Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chermoula Marinade

   In a bowl, mix together chopped cilantro, parsley, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tuna steaks and coat them with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Make the Chickpea Purée

   In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with water as needed. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Warm Tomato Salad

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced tomatoes and red onion. Cook until the tomatoes are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and stir to combine.

4. 4

   Sear the Tuna

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tuna steaks and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preference.

5. 5

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, spread a generous amount of the chickpea purée, top with the seared tuna, and spoon the warm tomato salad over the top. Serve immediately.
