Recipe: Cap'n Crunch seared tuna (on this page)
Recipe: Cap'n Crunch seared tuna
Why must cereal only be for breakfast? This might sound crazy, but there's just something about the sweet crunchy outside and the tangy little mix you make for it.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 cups regular Cap'n Crunch
- Olive oil
- 1 pound fresh tuna, ideally cut in 2 long rectangular blocks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Asian chili sauce
- 5 green onions, finely diced
Preparation
• Mix mayo and mustard — set aside.
• Put the cereal in a large plastic zip bag and crush it really well, you want it like dust
• Lightly oil the tuna, season it with salt and pepper, then press down into the cereal, making sure it’s covered on all sides.
• Heat a nonstick pan really well first and then add about a tablespoon of oil.
• When it just starts to smoke, add the tuna and sear quickly on all sides until lightly browned — if it’s hot enough, probably no more than about 15 seconds a side.
• Remove and slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
• I serve it by spreading the mayo mix on a plate, topping that with the sliced tuna and drizzling a bit of the chili paste around it.
• Top with green onions and make sure you get some of everything in each bite.
