Ingredients
Mango Salsa:
- 1 mango, cut in small cubes
- 1/2 ripe avocado, cut in small cubes
- 1/3 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/4 teaspoon pink sea salt
Coconut Cauliflower Rice:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 head cauliflower, riced
- 1 can unsweetened coconut cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pink sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Tuna:
- 2 tuna steaks, about 1 lb.
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- lime wedges for serving
- couple sprigs of cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Mix together mango, avocado, onion, lime juice, avocado oil and sea salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Put your cauliflower florets in the food processor with the shredding attachment. Depending on the size of your cauliflower, you may have to do this in batches.
- Add the coconut oil and riced cauliflower in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- After about three minutes add the coconut cream and sea salt.
- Allow the cauli rice to simmer for about 5 – 7 minutes or until all the coconut milk has been absorbed and the cauli rice is soft.
- Stir in the shredded coconut and keep burner on low until you are ready to serve everything up.
- Turn an outside grill on high and let heat for about 10 minutes.
- Once hot, turn the heat down to medium.
- Pat tuna dry and drizzle with avocado oil.
- Salt and pepper both sides.
- Place sesame seeds on a plate and dip the edges of the tuna in the sesame seeds.
- Grill the tuna for 1 – 2 minutes per side so the outside is cooked but it’s still pink on the inside. If your tuna is about an inch think, you may only grill for about 1 minute per side.
- Scoop the coconut rice into bowls, serve with sliced tuna, top with mango salsa, a lime wedge and a sprig of cilantro.
Tips
- If using a grill pan –> get the grill pan hot for about five minutes. Put the tuna on the grill pan. For thin steaks, sear each side for about 1 minute. For thicker steaks go for 2-3 minutes per side.
