  2-5 hrs

ingredients

1 1/4 pound fresh tuna
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon water
lemon wedges

directions

NOTE: For this recipe you'll need 12 [bamboo skewers] (4 to 5 inches long), soaked in water for 30 minutes.

Cut the tuna in one inch cubes and refrigerate.

In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil and water. Process until smooth. Pour mixture over tuna and refrigerate for two hours.

Start charcoal grill. Divide the tuna into 12 parts and thread onto the skewers. Place on platter until ready to grill (up to 4 hours, if refrigerated). Reserve marinade.

Grill the tuna brochettes over a medium-hot fire for 5-8 minutes, turning every two minutes and brushing with the reserved marinade.

When cooked to desired doneness, remove skewers to platter and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
