Grilled tuna with cherry tomato ------------------------------------
Ingredients : 4 tuna steaks 1kg cherry tomatoes (or very ripe ordinary tomatoes) 4 cloves garlic Salt Pepper Olive oil
Recipe : Coulis: Wash and quarter the tomatoes in a dish to retain the juice. Peel the garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil over a medium heat in a pan, without letting it smoke. Add the garlic and tomatoes in their juice. Season. Cook for 20 minutes with the lid off at first, then with the lid on but make sure the tomatoes don't stick together. Once you have a nice thick sauce, remove from the heat and leave to cool. Blend the sauce and pour into a clean pan. You'll reheat it to serve.
Tuna: Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the steaks on a high heat for a few minutes, turning them (you could also use a grill). Lower the heat and leave to cook for around 15 minutes. Reheat the coulis over a high heat. Season the steaks (lightly, because you've already seasoned the coulis). Serve with coulis on the side.

Feverish bright stainless steel, mingling with brick and painted metal, jutting up from the landscape, broken people clawing at the smoggy grey sky in an effort to clear a breathing space
labouring helplessly as they spew forth noxious purple-grey clouds, infecting all that surrounds them, slowly festering
and they are carefully crowded even closer together as more broken people are scattered across the open prairies
struggling to breathe in the presence of one another, clawing helplessly at the smoggy grey sky...

Love is the fury of the storm the calm in the rainbow Love is the source of passion
Love is giving and taking in a daily situation being patient with each other's needs and desires Love is the source of sharing
