A taste of summer

March 8th - My other half returned from the mainland bearing gifts.......fresh tuna steaks.  But what to do with them?  First port of call - a Rick Stein cookbook......couldn't believe that he didn't have any recipes for tuna.....in fact tuna recipes were very thin on the ground but don't worry I won't use that as an excuse to but any more cookbooks!  Jamie Oliver offered a recipe for Tomato Coriander Salsa with Grilled Tuna, which looked fairly straightforward and gave me an excuse to use my griddle pan.  The salsa combined 6 spring onions with 1-2 fresh chillies (I did not wimp out on this occasion), a bunch of fresh coriander, a bunch of fresh mint, 1kg of ripe tomatoes, salt and pepper, and the juice of 1 lime and half a lemon.  The result truly was a taste of summer and I was immediately transported to some Mediterranean poolside sitting enjoying a lovely fish dish with a glass of something alcoholic.
