1. To make the salsa whizz all the salsa verde ingredients in a food processor and season.
2. Cook the beans until tender then toss with a couple of tablespoons of salsa verde and the tomatoes. Griddle (chargrill) the tuna for 2-3 minutes each side. Serve on a bed of dressed beans with a drizzle of extra salsa verde.

Know-how

When buying tuna, look for a deep, dark red colour and no obvious fishy smell.

  This dish was really fantastic. It was light, fresh & bursting with flavour. I will definitely make it again. Just one question, however. What, on earth was I meant to do with the tarragon that I paid £1 for????!!!! (Absolutely no mention of it in the recipe instuctions!) Tastes really delicious though, so worth trying.
