MAGURO ... seared tuna... sooo yum.

So Harris Teeter had an amazing deal on sashimi grade tuna medallions for $5 a pound. YUM YUM YUM. This so so fast and delicious I could barely believe it. Heat a few teaspoons of canola oil in a nonstick pan and at the same time roll the medallions in a shallow bowl with some soy sauce (if you want add some garlic powder but you don't even have to do that) and then another shallow bowl with sesame seeds till they're nice and coated. Set the tuna aside till the skillet get hot enough then carefully drop them in. I barely like mine seared with the inside still red and raw so I'll only leave mine for about 15-20 seconds on each side, but if you want yours more pink and cooked through leave it for about 45 seconds on each side (just dont leat the sesame seeds burn). Its so fast and the sweet/salty soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds make such a perfect compliment to the fresh tuna. I served this with buttered lima beans and a spicy guacamole but you can just have this with some plain rice or a salad. DELICIOUS!

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
