HERB CRUSTED SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE, GINGER CONFIT ON ENDIVE

Steps:

• Have tuna sliced as thick as possible cutting against the grain into 1 1/2-inch rectangular pieces. Rub the fish with olive oil and roll in thyme, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. On a very hot grill sear the fish on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending upon the desired doneness. Set aside and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
• For wasabi mayonnaise, start with 1 tablespoon of wasabi powder mixed with mayonnaise and add more, if desired, to taste.
• Slice ginger into very thin sticks about 1-inch long. Place ginger, sugar, water and lemon juice into heavy saucepan and reduce to thick syrup. Be careful not to boil past medium ball state.
• On individual washed white endive leaves place fish. Garnish with wasabi mayonnaise that has been put in a squeeze bottle and finish with a few pieces of ginger confit.

GINGER TUNA WITH A WASABI DRIZZLE AND KUMARA GINGER FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine oil, ginger, chilie and lemongrass, add tuna. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 Min's or until required.
• Drain tuna over a small bowl, reserve marinade.
• Either BBQ tuna or as it is winter where I am, I placed tuna on a wire rack in an oven proof dish and cooked under the grill about 4 inches from the heat, for about 3-4 minutes a side.
• Wasabi Drizzle.
• Combine wine, sugar and vinegar in a pan, heat until liquid just comes to the boil, turn down and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, cool slightly, stir in wasabi and sour cream.
• Kumara Ginger Fritters.
• Heat oil in a pan, add onion, zucchini and ginger, cook until onion softens, stir in chili sauce.
• Combine onion mixture, kumara, coriander, egg, flour and seeds in a large bowl.
• Heat oil for frying, add mixture in 1 tablespoon lots to oil, cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, drain on absorbent paper.
• Chili Coriander Yogurt.
• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well.
• To Serve: Place tuna on a plate and drizzle with wasabi sauce, arrange some salad greens on the plate top with fritters and dollop yogurt on the top of each fritter. I served 3 fritters per person but serve as many as you like.

GRILLED TERIYAKI TUNA

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, and pepper. Place the tuna fillets in the bag. Seal the bag with as little air in it as possible. Give the mix a good shake, to ensure the tuna fillets are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove tuna from marinade, and place on grill. For rare tuna, grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. For medium, grill 5 to 8 minutes per side. For well done, grill for 8 to 10 minutes per side.

GINGER MARINATED TUNA WITH WASABI BUTTER

Steps:

• For the butter, mix all ingredients together in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the marinade, place all ingredients in blender jar and blend until ingredients are coarsely chopped and blended.
• Wash the tuna steaks under water, pat dry and place in shallow container.
• Pour prepared marinade over tuna and allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Remove the tuna from marinade, spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent from sticking to grill.
• Place the steaks on preheated grill and grill until your desired degree of doneness, turning once.
• Top each cooked steak with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon wasabi butter and serve with additional butter on the side.
• Please note that the cook time reflects the 30 minute marinade time.
