Grilled Tuna Steaks with Pine Nut Chilli Crust and Braised Fennel


We have been cooking fennel recently and this dish was absolutely delicious. I lightly fried sliced fennel (quite big chucks) with salt and pepper. When it was starting to moisten I threw in some white wine and chucked it in the oven. Then I got working on the rest. I chopped up pine nuts, garlic, chilli and parsley. When the fennel was looking pretty tender (after about 20 minutes) I grilled the tuna steaks, aiming for medium rare. Then when they were resting I threw in olive oil and fried the pine nut chilli mix til crunchy. This came together so easily and sounds pretty posh but it's still humble home style food to me!
