Berbere Seared Tuna & Roasted Cauliflower

Last night, i decided to get creative & make something simple while still interesting. i found some really fresh Albacore Tuna at Whole Foods so i decided to pair that with roasted cauliflower...here it comes:

Berbere Seared Tuna
6 0z Albocore or similar very fresh Tuna steak
1t Berbere sauce (a spicy Ethiopian spice blend that you can either buy or make your own)
salt to taste
1/2 lime
Olive Oil Spray

Sprinkle the berbere spice & salt evenly on both sides of the tuna steak. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat & spray olive oil (Trader Joes or Whole Foods sell a great extra-virgin olive oil spray). When heated, put the tuna steak on the pan & sear for 1-2 min until you see the bottom cooked upto 1/4 inch. Flip the steak & cook another 1-2 min until similarly done.

Remove from heat, squeeze fresh lime juice & serve immediately. Tuna will be lightly seared but rare (if you prefer medium rare or medium well, cook both sides longer until you see just some pink in the middle).

Roasted Cauliflower
1.5 cups cauliflower florets & peppers (i use a mix of sweet & spicy), chopped in chunks
1t curry powder or spice blend of choice
salt to taste
squeeze of fresh lime

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (broil setting). Spray a baking dish with olive oil & put the cauliflower/peppers in one single layer. sprinkle the curry powder & spray some more olive oil. Let broil for about 20 min until tops are lightly charred. remove from oven, sprinkle salt, squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice & serve immediately.
