This one is so fresh and simple, yet satisfying for when you're hungry for hearty food. It will feed two hungry adults.
You'll need:
About 1lb fresh raw tuna, cut into two fillets (don't get the frozen kind, it's not as flavorful)
Seafood seasoning or ginger powder, salt and pepper
olive oil
1 large zucchini cut in 1 in chunks
1/2 a red bell pepper (cut same as above)
1/2 a white onion (cut same as above)
2 yellow squash(es?) (cut same as above)
1 petal garlic, minced
About a cup of baby bella mushrooms cut in 1 in chunks
salt and pepper
Start your veggies first. Heat a pan with 1 tbs olive oil to medium and throw in your onion, garlic and peppers (they take a bit longer to cook). Once they've started to soften, add zucchini, squash and mushrooms. Drizzle generously with olive oil (about 3 tbs) then season with salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are about al dente, not mush.
About half way through cooking the veggies, heat another pan to medium with no oil in it. Then, generously season the fish on both sides with either salt, pepper and ginger, or with seafood seasoning. Both are tasty. Then, place the fish in the pan for 1 min per side to have a nice sear with a medium-rare doneness, 2-3 minutes for medium, 3-4 for well done. Plate the fish with veggies, and enjoy!
**As a side note, if the quality of the fish is good, you can cook it to your preferred temperature like a beef steak. Tuna is often cooked to medium rare so it will retain its tenderness.**
On a more personal note, Paleo seems to be working out great for me, as I managed to comfortably run a ten mile race yesterday without having run more than two miles at a time for a few months now. Who knows what I'll be capable of in another week! Scaling a 30 story building with my bare hands like Spidey? We shall see! Oh, and some troublesome acne that has stuck around into my adulthood seems to be taking a hike as well. Woo hoo!
Until tomorrow, I'm out like a light!
