Experimentation

So tonight, I am doing something a little different for dinner and praying that it come out. I am making sesame crusted ahi tuna with mango, green onion, and avocado fried rice. I am using an Uncle Ben's product that the company was kind enough to send me a sample of, Whole Grain White Rice. I have cooked the rice according to the directions on the box, and let it cooled. I am getting ready to chop up some green onions, heat up a pan and throw in the rice and green onion until it is nice and fried, after that slightly cools I will add in the mango slices and avocado. That will be the base that I serve the tuna on top of. If all comes out great or even edible, I will post the recipe for your enjoyment. Wish me luck in my experimentation and as always, Happy Eating!

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.
