    Sesame Seared Tuna with Veggie Slaw


    Source of Recipe


    Self Magazine, June 2005

    Recipe Introduction


    Mischa Barton and Kate Beckinsale have spent time in the Santa Monica steak house with a funky decor (picture mirrored walls and antler chandeliers). Atkins devotees can be spotted chowing down on red meat, while vegetarians can sample plenty of fish recipes like this tuna dish, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids (they may help reduce your risk for heart disease).
