About

This dynamic, flavorful dish, inspired by Selina Periampillai’s recipe from The Island Kitchen, is an excellent thing to make ahead for busy weeks or special occasions. Fresh tuna is seasoned and quickly fried, then marinated in chiles, turmeric, garlic, and caramelized onion and chilled overnight. It can also be eaten immediately, but it’s worth the wait. Serve alongside steamed rice with Trinidadian
