Tuna Fillet & Lemon Greens
with homemade peanut brittle
If you think peanut brittle is limited to the snack category, think again! This recipe shows you that even sweat-salty treats have a place in an adventurous Chef’s kitchen. Pieces of homemade honey-peanut brittle will be scattered over a bed of quinoa, which is topped with a perfectly seared tuna fillet. Sided with zesty green beans.

START WITH THE CARB
Place the Quinoa in a pot with the stock and 225ml [450ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
SEASONED TUNA
Pat the tuna dry with paper towel. Place into a bowl and coat with a drizzle of oil and the NOMU rub. Set aside.
A LITTLE BRITTLE
Thoroughly grease a flat tray or dish. Place a small pan over medium heat. Add the Honey and allow to bubble until foamy and darker in colour, 2 minutes (swirling the pan occasionally). Don’t let it cook for too long or it’ll burn! Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 10g [20g]|#7DA0D7 of butter – be careful, it’ll be hot. Working quickly, mix in the Peanuts until coated. Evenly pour onto the greased tray, sprinkle with salt, and pop into the fridge to cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, remove from the fridge and break up into small pieces.
LEMON BEANS
Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting constantly). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the lemon juice (to taste). Remove from the pan, season and cover.
GOLD(EN) FISH
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the fish until golden, 20-30 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and season.
