  1. OH SO SWEET...

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CHARRED Corn

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. SALSA & A ZING!

    Place the drained kidney beans, charred Corn, chopped peppers, and ½ the chopped coriander in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar and season to taste. Toss to combine. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, and chopped chilli (to taste). Mix well and season.

  4. IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE!

    Pat the tuna dry with paper towel. In a small bowl, combine the NOMU spice with 10ml of oil. Mix well and lightly season. Pour the spicy oil over the tuna and rub until it sticks. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tuna, a knob of butter (optional), and sear each side until charred, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan, reserving the juices.

  5. FIESTA TIME!

    Lay the smoky cajun tuna steak alongside the roasted wedges, and drizzle with the reserved juices. Side with the salsa and top it all with a large dollop of chilli-sour cream. Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander. Nice work, Chef!
