Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna

John got to pick out the fish that we had for our last Fish Friday of Lent and he chose his favorite, Ahi Tuna. He loves this super easy recipe and I enjoy it too.

1/4 cup of black sesame seeds

1/4 cup of sesame seeds

salt and pepper to season

1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil

1 pound of ahi tuna, cut for 4 servings

Place sesame seeds into a flat bottomed container and combine. Using a skillet large enough to fit all the tuna pieces, add oil and heat on medium high. Season tuna with salt and pepper, if kids aren't eating, use some powdered wasabi. Place season piece of tuna in sesame seeds and press down to form a crust on each side. Add tuna to pan and cook until tuna reaches desired doneness. For rare, this about two minutes on each side.

Slow Cooker Asian Pork

OK, so I so forgot how nice it is too cook with a slow cooker. Fix it and forget about it until dinner is done. One of my husband's favorite recipes is an Italian Beef. Take a round roast, add a jar of spaghetti sauce, cook on low for 6-8 hours, shred meat, serve on toasted rolls with provolone cheese. I decided to make that up for him and the baby is loving it too. I check out a book at the library and was intrigued by the idea of a recipe in it and decided to play around and see what came out of the slow cooker six hours later. Just a little tip for this one, the recipe I got the idea for said that this was 6 servings, try closer to 8 or more.
