Tuna Steaks- The Croatian Pomalo way

Creating a Pomalo-food experience in Croatia starts at the street market, where one purchases fresh ingredients. You can start with an idea; for me, it all started with this fresh tuna I picked up. I then worked around the tuna to create other extraordinary simple dishes. I picked up some citrus, fresh parsley, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. This would become the base of my marinade. A positive food experience is not just about eating the meal, as it is about the experience of preparing and creating lasting memories. Cooking is as important to the food experience as meal preparation and dining. Living a Pomalo Croatian-inspired life involves taking a few extra moments to pick out fresh ingredients and setting an inviting tablescape. It's also about planning your days with intention and care.

Tuna marinade

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon orange juice

2 cloves of garlic minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a bowl combine the lemon juice, oil, garlic, and parsley, salt and pepper.  

Pour over the tuna steaks.  Cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
