Seared Tuna with Mango Salsa
2001 Barefoot Contessa Parties!, All rights reserved

Ingredients
2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tuna steaks

Directions
Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over

medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1
more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange
juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice
is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room
temperature, or chilled.

Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt
and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for
2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.

Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.
