  Easy to make and very tasty. I didn't save any of the sauce paste - just added it all, left to marinade for approx half an hour and then griddled - it was lovely.

  Wonderful taste, will make this again. i also served with the suggested potatoes. Made my own harissa mix from chilli flakes, garlic, salt, corriander and cumin powder, dried mint, lemon juice and oil. Basically a flat tspeach of dry ingredients, 3 cloves of garlic, uice half lemon and 2 tblspns oil. Salt and pepper shaken I to taste. It keeps in a covered dish or small container in the fridge for a few weeks. excellent to add to other dishes also.

  Extremely simple to make but looks impressive on the plate! It's really fresh and fragrant - will be making it frequently.

  I had everything out for this and went out at the last minute for the coriander only to realize I had no idea what the translation was in Dutch and couldn't find any with similar looking names, so tried fresh oregano, which I really wasn't sure about. It turned out lovely, with a very fresh taste which I enjoyed even though I don't usually like fish. Will definitely try and find coriander though next time I cook this though.

  This was delicious, i just cooked on a griddle with but didnt add extra sauce at the end as i served it with the aubergine side dish with that sauce. Lovely. Corriander in Dutch is just Korriander by the way twinklestar.

  Very easy and very tasty dish. I cut back back on the olive oil by about a third to save the calories and also heated the sauce. Would recommend warming your plates if you're having the tuna quite rare. Delish!

  Cooked this yesterday and was AMAZING!!! I served it on a bed of pearl barley and peas which I seasoned by heating up the excess marinade and mixing in.

  Yum! I used lime juice instead of lemon. Fantastic, zesty, and simple. I'll be doing this on a weekly basis (may try with salmon too).

  Made for tea tonight and everyone loved it. Also served potatoes with butter, coriander and harissa paste which also went down very well. On the do again list.
