Recipe ingredients
- 4 yellow beets, average size (around 500 g / 1 lb)
- 45 mL (3 Tbsp.) butter*
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) 35% cream
- 10 mL (2 tsp.) coriander seeds
- 10 mL (2 tsp.) cumin seeds
- 2 slices of fresh skinless tuna around 1 inch thick
- (approx. 800 g /1 3/4 lb.)
- Several leaves of fresh coriander
- Salt and ground pepper
Preparation
Wash beets and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Place on a pan and bake from 1 to 1 hour and fifteen minutes in a preheated oven at 180ºC (350ºF). Peel beets, cut into two and each side into four. In a pot, heat 15 mL (1 Tbsp.) of butter on medium heat and fry the beets for 5 minutes until colour appears. Add cream, season and reduce for about 3 minutes. Put aside.
With a mortar grind the spices. Cut the slices of tuna in two, season and sprinkle with spices on both sides. In a non-stick pot, heat on medium, 30 ml (2 Tbsp.) of butter and fry the tuna slices for 4 minutes on each side until pink or around 8 minutes on each side for well-done.
Serve tuna slices and beets, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
