Ahi Tuna & Pine Nut Recipe

I chose this recipe after my husband Dan created a few for us to taste this weekend. My husband is a chef and I love fish. 

Ahi Tuna with Pine nuts 4 servings

16 oz center cut Ahi tuna

6 oz black pepper 

2 tbsp olive oil

16 oz spinach

6 oz raspberries

6 oz pine nuts

12 oz balsamic vinegar 

1.) reduce balsamic in a small saucepan over low heat until it thickens like a syrup.

2. ) coat ahi with pepper

3.) place oil in pan sear ahi for a minute on each side, one extra minute if prefered.

4.) Prepare plate with uncooked spinach berries and pine nuts, drizzle balsamic reduction over the top. 

5.) slice ahi 1/8’ slices and place 4oz on each plate. 

The experience of the recipe I chose was love in each bite, I really wish I could eat this everyday of my life. The body benefits of eating this type of food is pine nuts are rich in vitamin E, they are full of antioxidants. The pine nut has pinolenic acid an essential fatty acid that can help with weight loss, it also has oleic acid that helps to lower LDL the bad cholesterol Raspberries are rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids help protect blood vessels, enhance the power of vitamin C, protect cells from oxygen damage, and prevents excessive inflammation in the body. The Tuna is rich in Omega 3, a good source of protein, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E and B complex vitamins. The mind benefit of this meal is the joy of knowing that I was getting a good amount of nutrition and my husband was cooking.
