Grilled Tuna Tostadas With Black Bean Mango Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Lightly coat the mango slices and onion discs in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place mango slices on a medium high grill approximately 2 minutes on each side. Grill onions approximately 2 to 4 minutes on each side, being careful to turn only once (this will help keep them together and avoid pieces falling through the grill). When mangos have nice grill marks after a couple minutes on each side, remove from grill. Once onions have slightly charred, but still retain moderate firmness, remove from grill.
• Chop the mango and onion and place in large mixing bowl. Combine all of the above ingredients including juice of lime and orange and add salt and pepper to taste. In the mixing process a large amount of juice will gather at the bottom of the bowl. I recommend draining the juice, and placing the salsa in a refrigerator, covered for approximately 20 minutes. Then, use the salsa on top of grilled fish or serve as a side dish.

Steps:

• Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
• Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
• Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

Steps:

• Black Bean Mango Salsa: Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt & white pepper. May be prepared and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.
• Roasted Yellow Pepper Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Seared Tuna: In a large saute pan over high heat, heat the oil until it begins to smoke. Season each steak with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 30 seconds or until brown and crisp. Turn the tuna over, and cook for 10 seconds more or until done to your liking. Cut the seared tuna into 1 1/2" squares just before serving.
• Assembly: 2 cups peanut oil 7 flour tortillas, cut into 6-inch diameter rounds Black Bean Mango Salsa Jicama, julienned Vinaigrette (juice of ? lemon, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt&pepper) Seared tuna steaks Yellow Pepper Vinaigrette 20 cilantro leaves
• In a medium skillet over high heat, heat the peanut oil to 375 degrees F or until an edge of a tortilla sizzles when it is immersed. Fry the tortilla until crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and set aside. For each tostada, toss jicama in vinaigrette and place 2 tablespoons on each tortilla, top jicama with a thin layer of salsa and place a piece of grilled tuna on top. Garnish with a cilantro leaf and yellow pepper vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Salsa: Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Stir, just enough to mix. Put into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine together. Preheat barbecue grill or a stovetop grill. Lightly coat both sides of the ahi steaks with some olive oil. Place the steak onto direct heat, and cook only until grill marks form; about 3 to 5 minutes depending on how hot the grill is. Turn the steak over and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the ahi from the heat, and set aside. Do not overcook the tuna or the flesh will become dry and lose its flavor. The steak will have a white ring around the edges and the center will be very pink when it is finished cooking. Remove from the grill. Spoon the salsa over the top. Serve. Eat.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, 4 T lime juice, soy sauce, ginger and 3 t garlic paste. Place tuna steaks in a single layer in a nonreactive dish and cover with the marinatde. Turn to coat both sides. Place in the refrigerator 3-5 hours, turning occasionally.
• In a small bowl, toss remaining ingredients and chill.
• Remove tuna steaks from the marinade. Cook on a hot grill for about 3-5 minutes per side so that the steaks remain pink in the center. Spoon the chilled salsa over each steak and garnish with a cilantro sprig if desired.
