Main Ingredients

Moroccan Olive Dressing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Peppers

    Slice the sweet bell pepper and hot chili pepper into thin strips. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped Kalamata olives and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Ahi Tuna

    Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Season the ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.

  2. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil if necessary and then add the potato slices. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 6

    Sauté the Peppers

    In another pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet and hot peppers, sautéing them until tender, about 5 minutes.

Plating

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the crispy potato slices, top with sautéed peppers, and place the seared ahi tuna on top. Drizzle the Moroccan olive dressing over the dish, and serve immediately.
