Ingredients

  1. 200g of Tuna Loins (for searing) – 4 pieces
  2. 250g of Pearl Couscous
  3. 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
  4. 3 cloves of Garlic, sliced
  5. 1 Red Chilli, chopped
  6. 3 medium Tomatoes, halved
  7. 2 tablespoons of Tomato Paste
  8. 1 teaspoon of Salt (adjust to taste)
  9. 100ml (1/2 cup) of White Wine
  10. 310ml (1 1/4 cups) of Boiling Water
  11. 200g of Calamari Rings
  12. 500g of Clams, fresh and scrubbed
  13. A handful of Fresh Basil, roughly chopped

Method

  1. In a frying pan, heat 80ml (1/3 cup) of oil over low to medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and chopped chilli, cooking for 1 minute until softened. Stir in the halved tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Pour in the wine and simmer for 5 minutes until it reduces by half. Add the couscous and 310ml (1 1/4 cups) of boiling water, and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the couscous is tender.
  2. While the couscous is cooking, brush the tuna loins with 1 tablespoon of oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat and sear the tuna for 1 minute on
    each side for a medium-rare finish. Remove the tuna from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the calamari rings, stirring for 1 minute or until they turn opaque. Remove the calamari from the pan. Next, add the clams and 60ml (1/4 cup) of water to the same pan. Cover and cook for 3 minutes or until the clams have opened.
  4. Slice the tuna into quarters. Mix the calamari and basil into the couscous mixture, stirring gently to combine. Strain the clams through a fine sieve into the couscous mixture. Serve the couscous mixture in
    bowls, topped with the tuna and clams.
