Method

Rare Seared Tuna

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Season the tuna steaks with salt, black pepper, and fennel pollen on both sides.

  2. 2

    Pour in the sherry vinegar and let the mixture simmer on low heat until the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes.

    Halve the peaches and nectarines, removing the pits.

    In a bowl, combine sliced peaches, sliced fennel bulb, and fresh mint leaves.
