Add the sherry, tomatoes, the pepper flakes and the chipotle powder.

Cook another 5 minutes.

Add olives and tuna steaks back to the pan.

Cover and cook on low five minutes.

Meanwhile mix parsley. mint and garlic with the orange zest.

Serve tuna alongside saffron rice or couscous, spoon pepper raqout half over the tuna and half over what ever grain you choose.

Sprinkle the parsley/garlic/zest/mint mixture over each plate.

Before the heat becomes unbearable and the plants fry up for summer, this is one way to use the bounty of peppers from the pots out back.
