Ingredients
  • 1 fresh tuna loin fillet
  • 3oz (75g) basmati rice
  • Handful of frozen peas
  • Handful of coriander (known as cilantro in USA,) roughly chopped
  • 1 large tomato (deseeded and very finely chopped)
  • 1 large garlic clove (crushed or very finely chopped)
  • 1 spring onion (known as scallion in USA,) very finely chopped
  • 2" (5cm) of cucumber (peeled, de-seeded and very finely chopped)
  • 1 red birds' eye chilli pepper (seeds in or out according to taste, very finely chopped)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Few drops of white wine vinegar
  • Salt and freshly groun black pepper
  • Sunflower oil for frying

Directions
  1. Mix the tomato, garlic, spring onion, cucumber, pepper and half of the coriander together in a small bowl.
  2. Add a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil, a few drops of the white wine vinegar and season.
  3. Cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for the flavours to infuse. This can be done in advance.
  4. Put the rice on to cook as per the instructions on the packet.
  5. When the rice is ready, drain if necessary and mix with the remaining coriander.
  6. Put the peas on to boil per packet instructions (usually about 3 minutes.)
  7. Put a little sunflower oil in to a non-stick frying pan and bring it up to a very high heat.
  8. Fry the tuna for one minute each side. It should be "seared" on the outside and moist and pink on the inside.
  9. Serve the tuna on a bed made of the rice, surrounded by the peas and topped by the salsa.
