I can't say this is a ground breaking recipe. As a matter of fact I can't even say that it's one of her better ones. What I can say is that it's pretty damn fast to prepare. This dinner can be made in under 10 minutes easily. It's not exactly the cheapest dinner to make though. My small piece of tuna set me back the better part of $20 - that was one piece that I split between myself and Husband. It's a bit of a high roller meal. And to be honest I think you can make a way better meal at $10 a plate. If you really like the flavour of just straight up tuna - unsoiled by herbs and spices than yeah this is a good reference for you on how to cook it. But again I find myself asking do you really need to be told these things?? I guess maybe some people do and I shouldn't judge.
The bean salad is neither here nor there. It's got decent flavour but again, my socks were not knocked off.
Husband came home from work and nearly shit himself when he saw what was for dinner. He was all panicked that I'd made fish and beans. His eyes were big and he looked back into a corner of not wanting to hurt my feelings but also not wanting to eat the food on his plate. He tried desperately to walk that fine line and get out of eating what I'd made but I pressed him to try the damn food. So the gingerly took a bit of the tuna and said " This is pretty good but I usually don't like fish." He had the same reaction with the beans. So it's not that he didn't like the food it was that he normally wouldn't eat this, so because it was outside his box of "normal" he didn't want to go there. I swear to god some days I could throttle him. I told him if he likes the taste there's nothing to talk about. And when he had finished he tuna he conceded that it was pretty good.
In the end I just think this recipe is okay. If it peaks your interest then yes I say try it, but if you're not sure this is for you then find something with a little more pizazz.
