This is one of the nicest ways I have prepared tuna in a while, I think it is because it is a little different. I love tuna and this recipe was no exception the curry mayonnaise goes so well with it and the marinade is wonderful. It is a quick and easy meal to throw together with a wonderful end result. I served ours over salad greens with avocado and mango some chopped up egg and alfalfa sprouts. It made for a very healthy delicious meal.

Ingredients
6 Tuna steaks
Marinade
1/4 Cup sherry wine
1/4 Cup light soy sauce
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 Teaspoon ground pepper
2 Tablespoons minced green onions
1/4 Cup minced ginger

Curry Mayonnaise
1 1/2 Cups mayonnaise
1/4 Cup honey
1/4 Cup finely chopped chives
2 1/2 Tablespoons curry powder
1/2 Tablespoon turmeric
Method
1. For mayo, combine all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until completely incorporated. Refrigerate for later use.
2. For marinade, add all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until well combined; let sit for 2 hours for flavors to blend.
3. Marinate tuna steaks in marinade for 2 hours. Grill tuna on high heat for 2 minutes on each side (do not overcook, or tuna will become dry).
4. Place mayo in a plastic bag, cut off the bottom corner of bag and squeeze sauce across grilled tuna in a “zig zag” pattern.

This is a wonderful chicken recipe with a truly delicious sauce. I cooked this with spatchcocks (baby chickens) to cut down on cooking time and to also make it easier to handle. I could not get curry leaves so I used curry paste instead I will list amounts and any changes below. I also grilled chicken under the grill to brown as other reviewers had stated the chickens stuck even though they had oiled their grills.

Ingredients
1 1/2kg Whole chickens (I used spatchcocks cut in half)
1 Large onion, roughly chopped
3 Garlic cloves
3 Fresh red chilies or 1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek (I used the sambal oelek)
2 Teaspoons ginger, grated
2 Teaspoons lemongrass, chopped finely
1/2 Teaspoon ground turmeric
1 Teaspoon ground black pepper
2 Teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons curry paste (I used Thai red curry)
2 Fresh kaffir lime leaves (optional) or lemon leaves (optional)
3 Cups light coconut milk
Method
1. Split chicken and spread out flat. I used baby chickens you may want to cut whole chickens into small pieces for ease of handling and to lower cooking times.
2. Put onion, garlic, chilies, ginger and lemongrass into a container of electric blender with 2 or 3 tablespoons of the coconut milk and blend to a smooth paste.
3. Add turmeric, pepper, coriander and salt and a spoonful more milk if necessary and blend again for a few seconds.
4. Spread some of this spice paste over the chicken inside and out and let it marinate for 1/2 hour or longer.
5. Put the remaining spice mixture in a wok or large pan with the curry paste, leaves and the coconut milk (wash out blender container with some of the coconut milk) and bring slowly to simmering point, stirring constantly.
6. Lower the chicken into this gravy and continue simmering, stirring and ladling the gravy over the chicken occasionally. Turn chicken after 10 minutes and continue cooking until chicken is done.
7. Lift chicken from pan and grill over coals or under a preheated griller, a good distance away from the heat source, until chicken is touched with brown. I did mine under a grill.
8. In the meantime continue simmering gravy, stirring occasionally, until it is thick.
When chicken has been grilled, transfer to a serving plate and spoon a little of the gravy over. Serve the rest of the gravy separately.
