Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs tuna steaks, cut into 1 1/4 inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
3 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, minced
1/2 cup cilantro, minced
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn.
  • Place the tuna in a shallow non-metallic dish. In a small bowl, combine the oil, cumin and lemon rind and pour over the tuna. Toss to coat, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the chermoula, place the coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small frying pan and toast over medium heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. DO NOT BURN! Combine with the remaining chermoula ingredients and set aside.
  • Thread the tuna onto the skewers. Lightly oil your indoor grill or your barbeque and cook the skewers for 1 minute on each side for rare, or 2 minutes for medium.
  • Serve the skewers on a bed of couscous and drizzle with the chermoula.
