Tuna Steaks with Anchovy and Caper Sauce

At £12 for two Steaks Tuna is well and truly out of budget generally. But with a Yellow Stick making them £2 each this was a wonderful treat!

4 Tuna Steaks
3 Tbsp of Chives, chopped
2 Tbsp of Mint, chopped, some reserved whole to garnish
12 Basil Leaves, chopped
The Zest and Juice of a Lemon
1 Tbsp of American style Yellow Mustard
2 Anchovies, chopped
A Handful of Parsley, chopped
A Handful of Almonds, chopped and toasted
1 Tbsp of Capers, drained
Sugar Snap Peas
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil

Method:-

(1) Blitz the Chives, Basil and Mint with the Lemon Zest and Juice.
(2) Add Oil and Mustard.
(3) Coat the Fish with with 2 Tbsp of the mixture.
(4) Add the Capers and Anchovies to the remaining mixture and set aside.
(5) Sear the Tuna on both sides so that it is still pink in the middle and remove from the heat.
(6) Saute the Sugar Snap Peas in a little Oil for 2 minutes.
(7) Stir in a Tbsp of the dressing and plate the Peas.
(8) Place the Tuna over and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

We served ours with Minted New Potatoes and it was very good indeed.
