PESTO TUNA
I had tuna, but none of the usual ingredients I mix in. I found pesto in the back of the fridge. It's unusual I know, but we really liked the flavour combination, even my husband who hates trying new things :-) Note: the cook time is for refrigeration.

Steps:
- Make sure the tuna is as well drained as possible, I squeeze mine in a sieve.
- Mix with pesto and pepper to taste.
- If you want a more"spreadable" consistency, mix in the mayonnaise.
- A little lemon juice adds some zing if you like a more tangy flavour.
- Refrigerate for at least 20minutes to allow flavours to meld.
- Serve either as a sandwich or on crackers.
CITRUS PESTO TUNA
I got this recipe from Weber's Real Grilling cookbook, and tried it today for my first tuna recipe. The marinade was great, although the cooking time seemed a bit short (the recipe says 3-4 minutes, turning once) so I increased it to 4 minutes per side and it was overdone. I'm including the original cooking times in this recipe, but it depends on the size of the steak, so I'll have to keep experimenting!
