I recently read about the health benefits of macadamia nuts so I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes that combines them with grilled tuna. It’s a great healthy summer recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced papaya
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon hot chile paste, or to taste
- 4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
Directions
Step 1
Combine the papaya, onion, and red pepper in a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and hot chile paste. Toss to combine, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
Step 3
Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the tuna steaks in the egg, and allow excess egg to run off. Press into the macadamia nuts.
Step 4
Cook the tuna steaks on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Serve with the papaya salsa.
