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.
