Spicy Grilled Tuna, Cuban Style
c.1997, M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved

Ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 large cloves garlic, minced
3 large shallots, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
6 (6 ounce) pieces of tuna fillet
Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt,
cayenne pepper, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, cumin, and about 3/4 of the
cilantro (reserve the remaining cilantro for garnish).
Place the tuna fillet in a large glass or ceramic dish. Rub your fingers over the
fish to check for and remove any remaining bones, and pour the marinade over the
tuna. Make sure the fish are evenly coated on both sides and marinate for 1 hour
in the refrigerator, turning once.
Brush a grill or broiler pan with vegetable oil and heat it to high heat. Grill
the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking. Garnish
with the remaining cilantro and the lemon wedges.
