Tuna with Rice Pilaf

By: SLLVERGRL 
"A simply delicious meal! Sure to make your kitchen smell amazing! This recipe is very versatile, as well. For example, you may find it easier to use lima beans instead of edamame. Also you could use a different type of fish if you don't like tuna. You could even use fresh herbs for a burst of flavor! Feel free to experiment. Enjoy!"

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
  • 4 (4 ounce) tuna steaks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bulb shallots, peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice

Directions

  1. Place the rice and 2 cups water in a pot, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender. Season with thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gently stir into the cooked rice.
  3. Place the edamame in separate pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes, or until tender. Mix into the rice.
  4. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet. Rub tuna with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Place tuna in the skillet, and cook to desired doneness. Set aside, and keep warm.
