1 lrg red onion - cut into 2cm pieces

For the vinaigrette:

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Method: How to make seared tuna with roasted vegetable couscous

1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C.

2. Mix all the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle over a little olive oil and season well. Toss to coat all the pieces and tip out onto a foil lined, oiled and seasoned baking tray, making sure all the vegetables sit in one layer. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked and slightly crisp round the edges.

3. Whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette, season to taste and set aside.

4. Tip the couscous into a mixing bowl. Add a dash of olive oil and pour over the hot stock and water. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 15 - 20 minutes.

5. Season the tuna and coat with the crushed coriander and olive oil. Heat a frying pan, then add a splash more oil and the steaks, pan-fry for 2 minutes on each side. Pour over 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and transfer to a warm plate. Cover with foil and leave to rest for a few minutes.

6. Fork through the couscous to separate the grains. Add the coriander, lemon zest and juice, a couple of spoonfuls of the vinaigrette and season to taste.

7. Divide the couscous onto the plates. Spoon the roast vegetables onto the side. Slice the tuna steaks diagonally and arrange on top of the couscous. Finish with a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette.

For health reasons I have had to drop most fat and animal protein from my diet. Fat is the biggest enemy in my life but I also must avoid anything in the cabbage family, apples, most beans, dairy, especially cheese. I need help to find at least some recipes that I could cook for my husband and three boys.I do enjoy cooking, though I would consider myself an average home cook. With many of these recipes I'll be able to adapt to my own special circumstances. Thank you for making them so simple but wonderful.It'll be a treat to cook only one meal instead of the usual my meal and your meal.Thank you, I like your Women in the kitchen project, you should start it here in the US also, you have no idea how pathetic the situation has become. I love to make cakes from scratch and my in-laws think it is almost a miracle that someone can still make a cake from scratch. It's very sad really.Thank you for your work and dedication to education.
