Servings:four.
The floral note of the habaneros is a tremendous partner to the mango, but if you can’t find them, substitute another spicy chile. This mojo is also delicious with grilled shimp or pork

Preparation
Make the marinade
- In a large, shallow dish, mix the parsley, cilantro, garlic, sherry, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the tuna and toss to thoroughly coat, pressing the herbs all over the steaks. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Make the mojo
- In a blender purée the mango with the Chardonnay and orange juice until smooth. Stir in the habanero and set aside. (This mojo is served at room temperature or very slightly warmed—don’t boil it.)
Cook the tuna
- Light a charcoal or gas grill. When the grill is very hot, remove the tuna from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Sear the tuna for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or more, depending on the thickness of the tuna). Drizzle some mojo on each plate, set the tuna on the mojo, drizzle on a little more mojo, and garnish with cilantro.

Lisbon88| 03/15/2014我烤盘金枪鱼,它还保留着草药n the marinade which otherwise would fall off into the grill - the rest of the marinade was added to a big pot of tuscan kale and cooked down al dente. Excellent combination of mango-spice-herbs-tuna-kale.

This started as an easy family favorite (especially for my kids who aren't true seafood fans) and quickly emerged as a perfect casual meal entree for guests. I love the surprising simplicity yet elegant presentation (a great combination for any recipe in my book).

I have used this recipe multiple times and guests always want the recipe. Just enough savory balanced with salt and the sweetness of the mojo. Love this one and so glad I found it online after looking through dozens of Fine Cooking Magazines to find it again.
