Cooking Low FODMAP Grilled Tuna with Yellow Pepper Sauce

It goes without saying that you should start with buying the freshest tuna steaks possible. If none are available, some frozen versions are well suitable. The freezing technology has improved vastly and the techniques used are able to capture and retain the flavors and freshness of the fish quite well.

Make sure to grill the fish at over high and direct heat. It generally takes about 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve a medium-rare tuna steak with a pink or red center. Tuna dries out quickly so overcooking it will leave it less desirable. If cutting the steak, slice across the grain of the fish.

Don’t skip the Yellow Pepper Sauce! It is really delicious and comes out a beautiful yellow color with a polenta-like consistency. It’s add additional flavor, juiciness and texture to your dish.

My top choice for garlic infused oil is Baja Precious – Glorious Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750ml Bottle) and asfatetida is Rani Asafetida (Hing) Ground 3.75 oz.
