Sometimes you just crave fresh, simple food.  Other times it may be the comfort and warmth of soup or a rich casserole.  Both are fabulous!  Last Sunday I was craving fresh and simple food to finish off what had been a great weekend.  Here is the recipe for my chosen dish.  The basil and feta really brings this one together and with at least 3 servings of vegetables per serve your body will be thanking you too!

Tuna steak with broccoli and goats feta salad

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 x tuna steak (about 150 grams each)

2 teaspoons olive oil

medium broccoli head (about 300 grams), cut into florets

2 x celery stick, sliced

cherry tomatoes (about ½ punnet), halved

60 grams feta cheese, crumbled

good handful of basil leaves, roughly torn

splash of extra virgin olive oil

juice from a lemon wedge

salt and pepper

Steps

• Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil
• Add broccoli and cook for a minute or two, just enough so that it brightens and slightly softens
• Drain broccoli, run under cold water to cool quickly, then place in fridge or freezer to continue cooling
• Heat a frying over medium high heat
• Coat tuna in oil and season with salt and pepper
• Fry tuna for a couple of minutes on each side so that it is still pink in the middle (or to your liking)
• Combine broccoli, tomato, celery, feta and basil in a large bowl
• Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice
• Season with pepper
• Serve tuna with the salad
