Day 1 I turned half of it into Ika Mata.
First you slice up your very fresh tuna
Zest a lemon or lime set aside
Marinate the fish in lemon/lime juice for about 20 minutes
(picture on right)
Meanwhile
Chop and seed some cucumber
1 small red onion chopped
1 spring onion chopped
1 tomato deseeded and flesh sliced
Handful chopped coriander
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
As much fresh chili as you can stand
Reserved Zest of lemon or lime
Some coconut milk. Just enough to cover vege
Drain fish and add to coconut milk mix
Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Fabulous.
If I can be accused of 'Frittering Away'... I can't help myself, anything leftover gets turned into fritters... those little fritters on the plate in the photo were made with the leftover Lemon Risotto that I made for Elpie and Pete when they were with us.

You have been eating well Gilli. We never have left over risotto...but fritter sounds good if we ever have any leftover.
Nice treats! I like fish a lot. I prefer using them in cooking than those beef and pork.
