Ingredients

  • 150g Tuna Steak
  • 120g quinoa
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g spinach
  • 8g sriracha
  • 15g lime
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp chipotle chilli flakes & cumin
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  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

    Rub the protein with chipotle and cumin. Stir the hot sauce and lime into the yoghurt for a smoky crema.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
