Recipe of the week

I've decided to try and find new recipes that are high in protein and will be posting one a week for us - if you have any please join in. Here's the first one and it looks yummy and packed with protein: Mediterranean Tuna Steaks 2 Servings The Mediterranean flavors of the colorful topping in this recipe are a perfect complement to the flavor and firm texture of the fish. A cast-iron grill pan is best for this dish. Be sure to season a new cast iron pan well before using it for the first time and preheat it each time you use it. Spinach sautéed with garlic is an excellent side dish for this recipe. Ingredients: 2 tuna steaks, 6 ounces each, about 1 inch thick 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 1 medium ripe tomato, diced fine 6 green olives, pitted and chopped 1 tablespoon scallions, chopped 2 teaspoons capers 1 clove garlic, mashed Pinch of dried whole oregano Instructions: 1. Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat dry. Brush them with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 2. Preheat grill or broiler. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. 3. Grill or broil the steaks on high heat, about 2-3 minutes per side or until desired doneness. 4. Top the tuna steaks with the tomato-olive mixture.

Kathryn your haircut looks exquisite you look like a model in that picture! What if we each took a day and posted a healthy new recipe? I think that might help shape things up? I'll ask Ruthy if that's ok with her. ANDI

Ruthy what if we all took a day and posted a new and healthy recipe to keep things fresh and exciting so that it's not all on you? I'll do one for tomorrow if you'd like. ANDI

Course I don't mind - it'll be great to see what other people are cooking up. I can't get my tuna steaks til Thursday - thats' when they come into the store and they all get bought up by the weekend. I've never tried tuna steaks - eat loads of canned tuna. I'm looking forward to trying it, and seeing hat else we can cook up together.
