Source of Recipe
orangrze
List of Ingredients
1/4 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce substitute
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Splenda
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)
Strawberry Salsa
4 sprigs fresh basilRecipe
Place the basil leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, Splenda, and 1/2 C hot water in a blender and puree. Arrange the tuna steaks in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and marinate for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator, turning the steaks occasionally.
Prepare coals for grilling or preheat the broiler. Drain the tuna steaks and grill them over medium-hot coals or broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat until charred on the outside but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes, turning the steaks once. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat and place the steaks on warmed dinner plates.
Spoon the strawberry salsa over the tuna, garnish each with a sprig of basil, and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 entree servings
-------------------------------
Strawberry Salsa
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and julienned
1/2 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and julienned
1/2 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and julienned
1/4 cup finely shredded fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours. Fifteen minutes before serving, remove the salsa from the refrigerator, so it loses some of its chill.
Half of this recipe would be 1 Fruit A. That would be a lot of salsa, I'd probably Use a couple of tablespoons of this and figure out how many whole strawberries I could garnish with to make one fruit serving.
