First..Tuna, I love mine rare to raw.
Now for dinner tonight. It is a bit chilly and rainy to say the least. (I think the farmers are going to switch from corn to rice this year!)
Italian Beef sandwiches on garlic bread, topped with Mozzarella cheese and topped with Giardiniera (Italian beef with giardinera I think is a Chicago "thing") Potato salad and a pasta salad. And I made "brookies" for dessert.

We finished the Ahi Tuna steak, hubs was never able to set up the new little bar-be-que, table top, since buying it last summer. So I seared it on the stove top, added rice milk to poach it tender, nice. So good! I used spray EVOO because it only needed so very thin oil. Shell, it as very moist, medium was perfect.

Sister called to say, "No one eats fish anymore due to the radiation". Meh.

Send, your welcome. I don't know if you know this or not, but tuna can be cooked to medium rare or medium to well done. I like mine medium.

Happy to hear your fish turned out and it sounds like it was good!

Thanks Shell, you are not too late.
I poached the tough piece I had already cooked two days ago, in canned milk and cream of mushroom soup. Wonderful, now tender! Served with asparagus.

So, yes, grilling will work for the second huge piece in the freezer, and I will enjoy that. Figured out to cook it done enough, the fish steak will need to be cut into
1 inch thick, instead of 2". Ok, defrosted too, thanks!

That makes the expensive purchase worth it, with so many servings available now.

Send I maybe late but fish really needs to be defrosted before cooking. I love tuna. You can grill this fish because it is like grilling a steak. Or you can bake it with white wine, garlic powder, season salt, parsley and E.V.O.O or/and butter. The things I can do with fish! Yum!

Good luck!

Ahi tuna.
Got carried away and ordered two cuts, on sale.(the frozen then defrosted kind, but asked for it frozen).

It is about 2 1/4 inches thick, still frozen.

Not wanting to eat it just seared, and raw inside.....I have no idea how to cook it properly. What have I done? It looked so pretty, all pink, like Salmon. But it is not salmon. It is a huge piece of fish!

Grill season chicken, mash pototoes with corn and chicken gravy. I think that is healthy enough.

I've been working in the yard and came in starving, but it's only 4:00. As a reward for my patience (and hard work) I've placed an order at the local fish & chips shop for 5:00 and will stave off my hunger with a cup of coffee.

Yummo! I bet it has a nice kick but not overly spicey. Lots of sugar to calm the heat.

Thank you for sharing this recipe smeshque.

smeshque..thank you I printed the recipe...how spicy is this? wondering if I should cut back on habanero or use a combo of jalapeno and habanero

Sure Grandma,
6 oranges
1 lemon
6 cups of water
6 habanero peppers
3/4 cup of sweet onion
9 cups of sugar

So I quarter the oranges, peel them and then finely dice the rind, and put all of the orange in the pot, minus stem parts. Then I zest 1 lemon and juice it in the pot. dice up the sweet onion, vidalias are best, and put that in the pot, and then add the water, get it boiling on high heat for roughly 10 minutes, stir constantly, and then turn on medium heat to a slow gentle boil for about 40 minutes. When I turn the heat down I take 3 of the peppers and poke holes in them and throw them in the pot.
After40 minutes, I remove the peppers. At this point I add the 3 remaining peppers (minced) and I myself blend it, I like it smoother. Some people do not take that step, I find it works out better. Then I return it back to the pot on a gentle boil for 30 more minutes, if you havent blended it you are looking for very soft fruit. Meanwhile if you are canning it, have water bath heating up with jars and lids in it, not rings. Then right before you begin adding sugar remove the jars and lids in preparation for the preserve.
Then you have your sugar ready and you turn up the heat a little to get a hard boil going on, it is usually between medium and high for me. I use a candy thermometer and so when it gets boiling start adding 1/2 cup of sugar at a time, until you have added all of it, and you are wanting the temp to get to 220 degrees.
Then remove it from heat. Now I don't but if you chose to use pectin, you can add about 1/2 tsp mixed with water into it when it reaches desired temp and boil 30 seconds more.
The ladle into jars, if canning or if not whatever storage container you want and then refrigerate after it completely cools.
If canning leave 1/4 inch at minimum in the tops of jars. place lid and ring on and only barely handtight.
Place in water bather making sure you have at least an inch of water above the jars, and after it gets to boiling
let it boil 10-12 minutes. Turn off, let it sit 5 minutes, then remove from bath.
I hope all this makes sense.
It is really good with a little sweet and spice a nice little kick.
Would be great with chicken or pork.
If you make it let me know how it turns out and if you like it.

smeshque...The marmalade does sound good. At the risk of turning this into a recipe swap would you care to share? It would be awesome with chicken or pork.

A Pennsylvania Dutch recipe modified, grilled ham, organic potatoes and green beans in a rich homemade bone broth base with 6 crispy bacon strips cut and added, with a parmesan thyme bread. Mmmm good and healing.

Walnut fudge brownies for desert with toffee ice cream.

Smeshque what type of orange did you use? Did you juice it or cut the membranes off?

I ask because that sounds amazing.

I can taste it now with some neufchatel and a buttery crisp cracker, yummo! Or a nice crusty whole wheat bread.
