Ingredients :

2   x   Ripe mangoes 
6   tbl   Chopped fresh cilantro, plus whole leaves for garnish 
4   x   Fresh tuna steaks, 6 ounces each 

Method :
  • About 1 hour before serving, peel the mangoes with a sharp knife. Cut the flesh away from the pit, dice it into 1/4-inch pieces, and put it in a small bowl. Add the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt and mix well. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly press 1/2 teaspoon butcher - grind black pepper into one side of each tuna steak. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the fish, pepper side down, in a large non-stick skillet. Cook on both sides over medium - high heat until the fish is seared on the outside but still pink in the center. Cut the tuna on the bias with a sharp knife into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Mound mango relish in the center of each plate. Arrange the tuna slices, overlapping to form a circle around the relish. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  • Serves 4
