Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 TUNA KEBOBS Yield: 4 servings INGREDIENTS - 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) - 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce - 1 garlic clove, minced - 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves - 1/4-1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes - 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - 1 lb. fresh tuna, cut in 12 chunks - 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced - 8 large cherry tomatoes - 1 medium red onion, halved vertically and cut into crescents DIRECTIONS Preheat grill or broiler. In a glass or other non-reactive bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, basil, pepper flakes, pepper and oil. Add the tuna to the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and marinate up to 1 hour, turning tuna chunks occasionally. Using four 10-inch metal or (well-soaked) bamboo skewers, assemble the kebabs, alternating the fish with pieces of cucumber, onion and tomato. Broil the kebabs 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the fish is firm to the touch and the vegetables browned, about 5 minutes more. Do not overcook or the tuna will be dry. Serve either hot or at room temperature with hot steamed rice.
