Our tuna adventure

Tuna is another staple fish we tend to purchase at Hyde Park Fish Market every time we go. Sometimes I go in with a plan to get another type of fish, however, tuna always seems to call my name. On this shopping trip, our intention was to get something other than tuna (although I am not sure what) and we ended up taking home a beautiful piece of tuna to enjoy. Mark has been making variations of couscous in the last year (all available at Dean's Mediterranean Market in Findley Market) and he had another wonderful dish idea.
This dish consisted of two tuna steaks - lightly seared so they are essentially rare inside, couscous, roasted cherry tomatoes and roasted red onion and topped with an olive tapanade. The couscous was a perfect match for this dish. The roasted tomatoes and onions were enough vegetable not to overpower the dish, and the tapanade was a great garnish/sauce for this meal. Here is one photo of the finished product:

of course, it didnt stop there. This wonderful night I was also treated to homemade butterscotch pudding with homemade whipped cream. I have never had a homemade pudding before, but this could be a terrible discovery. The butterscotch was devine and rich, but a perfect dessert to finish our night. I would give you the recipe, however, he didnt even share it with me. It was a total surprise dish I am anxious to learn how to make at some point in the near future.
Here is the end result:


All in all, another great creation by my wonderful (now) husband. One day I will post on one of my dinners, that is, if I actually remember to take a photo soon!
