Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil Yukon gold potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Tuna

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season tuna steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 3

    Cook Shrimp and Bacon

    In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

    Prepare Ratatouille

    In a separate pan, sauté zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes in olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste.

  5. 5

    Sauté Mustard Greens and Carrots

    In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté chopped carrots until slightly tender. Add mustard greens and cook until wilted.

  6. 6

    Make Cucumber Salad

    In a bowl, mix diced cucumber with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit for flavors to meld.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine roasted poblano pepper and black currant juice. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  8. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, arrange grilled tuna, potatoes, shrimp, bacon, ratatouille, sautéed mustard greens and carrots, and cucumber salad. Drizzle with roasted poblano black currant jus.
