Tuna, caramelised tomatoes and avocadoJennifer Soo

Time:< 30 mins

By burning the sugar in this recipe, you cut most of the sweetness and add a slightly bitter flavour. This and the acid from the tomatoes and vinegar work well with the buttery avocado.

Ingredients

400g cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 large avocados, sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup chive batons
1 cup torn basil leaves
1/4 cup raw sugar
4 x 180g tuna steaks

Method

Preheat grill to high. Place tomatoes and balsamic in a bowl. Place avocado, olive oil, salt, pepper, chives and basil in a large bowl. Put sugar in a saucepan and place on a high heat. Allow sugar to burn, moving the saucepan around so it burns evenly. Add tomatoes and toss in sugar. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Grill tuna to your liking. Toss tomatoes with avocado and serve with tuna steaks.
