Instructions

1 Cook quinoa

Rinse the quinoa in warm water.
Drain in a fine sieve.
Bring the measured water to boil in a pot.
Add the quinoa and a pinch of salt.
Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 12-15 min or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate to chill.

Tip! Washing quinoa with warm water before draining it removes the bitter-tasting saponins from its surface.

2 Prep Tuna

Slice the Tuna into half across, and into medium cubes.
Add the sesame seeds on a plate and press one side of each Tuna cube into it.

3 Fry Tuna

Heat a large pan over medium high heat with a small drizzle of oil.
Fry the almond flakes until golden, and set aside.
Fry the tuna, (sesame seeds down) for 2 min until golden and crispy.
Flip over and cook for 1-2 min on the other side.
Transfer to a plate, cover and refrigerate to chill.

4 Prep vegetables

Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers in half moons.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
Peel and grate the carrots
Trim and chop the spring onions.
Pick the coriander.
In a large bowl, toss the vegetables together.

5 Prep

Trim, wash, and dry the boston lettuce.
In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger paste, sesame dressing, and honey.

6 Serve

Arrange with the Boston lettuce at the bottom, followed by the Quinoa, Salad Vegetables, and chilled Tuna.
Serve the Fresh Tuna Quinoa Salad, drizzle over the Creamy Sesame Dressing and garnish with Almond Flakes.
