I recently read about the health benefits of macadamia nuts so I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes that combines them with grilled tuna. It’s a great healthy summer recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced papaya
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon hot chile paste, or to taste
- 4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Combine the papaya
- onion
- and red pepper in a bowl. Add the cilantro
- lime juice
- garlic
- and hot chile paste. Toss to combine
- then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat
- and lightly oil grate.
- Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil
- then season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the tuna steaks in the egg
- and allow excess egg to run off. Press into the macadamia nuts.
