Ingredients
  • 3 boxes Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Seared Ahi Tuna
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed if required on package instructions
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 lb. asparagus, woody ends removed and chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup sweet peas
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ½ parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp. fresh chives (or your other favorite fresh herb), finely chopped
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
Instructions
  1. Remove the Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Seared Ahi Tuna from the freezer and take it out of the vacuum sealed packaging. Let it defrost in the refrigerator for approximately 3 hours before serving.
  2. Pour chicken broth in a small sauce pan and place over medium-low heat to warm.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium-hight heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the onion softens and begins to turn translucent.
  4. Add the quinoa to the large sauce pan, stir to combine and coat the quinoa and toast for approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir well to lift up any bits that have caramelized to the pan. Simmer the wine until it has completely reduced and the pan is almost dry.
  6. Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait to add another ladle until the previous has almost completely been absorbed by the quinoa. This is the key to getting that creamy consistency that we are looking for!
  7. When adding the second to the last ladle of broth, add the edamame to the pan too. It needs to cook for about 5 minutes.
  8. On the last ladle of broth add the asparagus, peas and arugula to cook.
  9. Remove from heat, add parmesan cheese, chives, salt and pepper.
  10. Serve quinoa in bowls topped with Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Seared Ahi Tuna
  11. Enjoy!!
