INGREDIENTS
Marinade
zest of an orange
handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
800g piece tuna, trimmed & cut into 4 pieces
Salsa
2 corn cobs
juice of an orange

1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 spring onions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped
1 avocado, diced

METHOD
Combine all the marinade ingredients, add the tuna and turn to coat well. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Rub the corn cobs with a little oil and grill or barbecue until tender, turning frequently. When cool enough to handle, slice off the kernels with a sharp knife.
