In honor of nuts this week I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes with macadamia nuts. This recipe serves 4.
Papaya Salsa
½ red onion, chopped
1 sweet red bell pepper, diced
2 cups fresh papaya, diced (can use mango if papaya not available)
Chili paste, to taste (or finely chopped Jalapeno peppers)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (can use fresh parsley instead)
Fresh garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
I would suggest preparing the salsa first. Combine onions, red bell pepper and papaya in medium sized bowl. Add chili paste, cilantro, garlic and lime juice to taste. Mix well and adjust seasonings as needed.
Macadamia Crusted Tuna Steaks
4 sashimi grade tuna steaks (1” thick)
2 handfuls of crushed macadamia nuts
3 eggs
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Rub extra virgin olive oil over tuna steaks and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and dunk tuna in egg wash. Next cover both sides of the tuna steak with crushed macadamia nuts and press firmly. Oil the grill then sear tuna on both sides over high heat. Cook until favorite degree of doneness (hint: tuna is best served rare in the middle). Serve with papaya salsa on top
