BBQ Macadamia Tuna with Pawpaw Salsa
I recently read about the health benefits of macadamia nuts so I thought I’d share one of my favourite recipes that combines them with barbecued tuna. It's a great healthy summer recipe!
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 2 cups diced pawpaw
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 red capsicum, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon chilli paste, or to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 (170g) tuna steaks
- 1/4 cup (65ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped macadamia nuts

- Combine the pawpaw, onion and red capsicum in a bowl. Add the coriander, lime juice, garlic and chilli paste. Toss to combine, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat a barbecue for high heat and lightly oil grate.
- Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil then season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the tuna steaks in the egg and allow excess egg to run off. Press into the macadamia nuts.
- Cook the tuna steaks on the preheated barbecue to your desired degree of doneness. Serve with the pawpaw salsa.

thought it was easy to make and tasted great - the salsa was really good - makes the meal - 21 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
My boyfriend and I were very surprised by how good this dish was. We didn't have macadamia nuts so I used finely chopped pecans. We didn't have hot chile paste so I used 1/2 chopped Jalapeno. It was delish! We will do this recipe again, no doubt! - 14 Dec 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was a great recipe! We made it in a pan because it was raining, but it still tasted great. We had roasted sweet potatoes with rosemary as a side. This was my first time to try tuna (I am not a big fish eater) and it was great. I will definitely try it again and hopefully next time it's not raining so we can grill it. - 01 May 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
