INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Mustard Seed Dressing" recipe which is included in this
collection.
Trim and cut the tuna into a block, approximately 2 inches across
(depending of the size of the original piece). Crush the salt, peppercorns,
fennel seed and lavender with a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin. Lightly
oil the tuna pieces with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and coat evenly with
the lavender-pepper mixture, patting off the excess. Heat the remaining
olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, and when it just begins to
smoke, quickly sear the tuna on all sides. Don't overcook; the tuna should
be rare inside. This will not take any more time than just to brown the
outside of the fish. Immediately refrigerate the tuna for 1 hour (but no
more than 3). To serve, arrange the greens on chilled plates. Drizzle the
Mustard Seed Dressing. Thinly slice the tuna and arrange on top of the
dressed greens. This recipe yields ?? servings.
