Seared Tuna with Steamed Mote and Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared Ahi tuna served with tender steamed mote and oven-roasted asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5.8 ounces Ahi Tuna Steak
0.6 cup White Mote (Hominy)
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, toss with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, then roast for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, place the mote in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-8 minutes until heated through and softened.
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until just beginning to smoke.
Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes per side for a perfect rare to medium-rare center.
Plate the seared tuna alongside the steamed mote and roasted asparagus.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the tuna and vegetables before serving.
