Tuna with Lentils Category: Recipes
One of my brothers was telling me last week what he’d had for tea – Tuna steak with lentils and sweet potato wedges. I’m not keen on sweet potatoes but the Lentils sounded good so I asked for the recipe.
Now, I’ not sure if I’ve missed something but the lentils started to dry out quickly in the pan so I tweaked the recipe slightly, added a little cream and we ended up with this…
Ingredients
- 1 Tin of green lentils
- Coriander
- 1 Clove of garlic
- 1 Small onion
- 1 Teaspoon Ground cumin seeds
- 1 medium chilli finely chopped and de-seeded
- 1 Tablespoon double cream
- 6 Tbsp water
- 2 Tuna Steaks
- 4 Tomatoes
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°c
- Halve the tomatoes and roast for 30 minutes – start the rest of the cooking after 15 minutes
- Finely chop the onion, garlic and chilli
- Put lentils in a a pan with the copped onion, garlic and chilli and the cumin seeds
- Add 6 tablespoons of water to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes
- Meanwhile start to griddle the Tuna – ours were well cooked
- When lentils are cooked, take off heat and stir through the double cream then add the coriander leaves
- Serve Tuna on top of lentils with roasted tomatoes around the side
