Serves 4
Ingredients
Tuna
- 6 oz Pacific Albacore or Ahi Tuna, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
Tuna marinade
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 4 teaspoons organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Satay sauce (adjust the seasonings and sugar to taste)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon unrefined cane sugar (optional)
- 1‒1 1/2 teaspoons salt-reduced soy sauce
- 1‒2 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Directions
Tuna
- Rinse tuna with cold water; pat dry with paper towels. In glass or ceramic bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add albacore cubes and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, tossing cubes gently halfway through marinating time.
- While tuna is marinating, make the satay dipping sauce using the instructions below.
- Drain tuna, reserving marinade. Thread tuna cubes on metal or bamboo skewers. Place skewers on greased grate 4‒5 inches from hot coals or broiler element. Cook 4‒6 minutes, turning to cook all sides. Baste frequently with reserved marinade. Do not overcook! Tuna should be pink in center when removed from heat. Serve with satay sauce.
