Ingredients

  • 150g Tuna Steak
  • 120g couscous
  • 80g aubergine
  • 80g spinach
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the aubergine and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Sear the tuna steak in a very hot pan for 60-90 seconds per side, keeping the centre pink, then slice.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the aubergine and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
