edited September 2019 in EggHead Forum
A few weeks ago I bought some Yellow Fin Tuna but didn’t get to cook it.  It got vac sealed and frozen.   I thawed it out for tonight’s supper.  But what to serve with it.  I had no rice, no capers and no salad but I had leftover pasta, fresh cherry tomatoes,kalamata olives, a lemon and an herb garden 


Worried about the texture of frozen YFT I hit it with salt n pepper then a SV bath @105 for 30mins.  
While the SV was doin it’s thing I sautéed some garlic, tomatoes, kalamata olives and lemon juice before adding the pasta and fresh thyme and rosemary 
Missed the pan pic.  Oh Well.  

Tuna hit with black n white sesame seeds 


Searing up on the mini.  


Served on a bed of the pasta mix and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.  I think the freezing messed with the color of the tuna.  This is the darkest 105° I’ve seen on tuna.  


For a hodgepodge meal this did not disappoint.

    Looks great to me!!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Nothing like a tasty end to some freezer diving.  Nice work.

    Thanks to each one of you.   

    I think this pasta hodgepodge will be good with some buttery seared scallops too.  Time will tell
