Spicy Tuna Tocino


The idea of this dish came from Erwan's creation. His blog is one of the few sites I often visit. Aside from learning techniques and recipes in cook books, I also acquire a few tricks from his blog. And quite frankly, it actually inspired me to revive Craves and Tales.

Of course, I had to tweak his recipe a bit; I used a different protein and added different spices. I hope you'd love this one.

Firstly, we have to marinate the fish. In a large bowl, put two tuna loins (about 500 grams). Rub them with a one large crushed garlic and a teaspoon of salt.

Next, add paprika, chili powder, cayenne powder and saffron - one teaspoonful each (or more). Sprinkle with some ground pepper. Add 3/4 cup brown sugar. Mix well then marinate in the fridge for 48 hours.


Once ready, place the tuna together with the melted sugar (mixture) in a casserole. Pour 3/4 cup stock. Simmer the fish over low fire until cooked.


Remove the fish from the casserole. At this point, add two tablespoons of sugar then reduce the liquid until thick. Pour the sauce over the fish and top with some onion springs.




Happy eating!
