Ahi Tuna

Couscous

Crispy Leeks

Orange and Tomato Sauce

Method

Prepare Ahi Tuna

1

Season the Tuna

Rub the Ahi tuna steaks with olive oil, Moroccan spice blend, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

Sear the Tuna

Heat a skillet over high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Prepare Couscous

3

Cook Couscous

In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add Israeli couscous and cook for about 8-10 minutes until tender. Stir in chopped kale and sliced chorizo, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until kale is wilted.

Prepare Crispy Leeks

4

Fry the Leeks

In a bowl, toss the sliced leeks with flour and salt. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the leeks until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare Orange and Tomato Sauce

5

Make the Sauce

In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Dish

Plate the Dish

On a plate, serve a portion of the couscous mixture, top with sliced Ahi tuna, drizzle the orange and tomato sauce, and garnish with crispy leeks.
