TUNA WITH ORANGE, GINGER, AND LEMONGRASS SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons orange juice and cornstarch in small bowl to blend. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, ginger, lemongrass, garlic and crushed red pepper; sauté until onion is light golden, about 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup orange juice, stock and soy sauce and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil. Coat each side of each tuna steak with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tuna and cook until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Bring sauce to simmer. Transfer tuna to plates. Serve with sauce.

LINGUINE WITH BLOOD ORANGE AND TUNA

Steps:

• Remove the skin and pith of 10 oranges, then halve crosswise and break into sections. In a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt. Sauté until garlic begins to soften.
• Add half of the orange sections, mashing them a little with a fork. When the liquid starts to bubble, add the tuna, mashing it slightly with a fork so that the mixture has both paste and distinct chunks of tuna and orange. When the liquid bubbles again, squeeze in the juice of the 2 remaining oranges. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and return the sauce to medium-high heat. Add the parsley, additional olive oil as desired and remaining orange sections. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the linguine and toss to mix well.
