How about cajun Tuna?
Tuna Steaks
Philladelphia
Fresh chillies
Shwartz Cajun
Fresh lemon
Take the tuna steaks, slice carefully into the middle of them to make a pocket.
Chop a chillie or 2 very finely, either red or green, with or without the seeds.
In a bowl put 2-3 large spoonfuls of Philly and mix in the chillies.
Stuff the mixture into the pockets of the tuna.
Sprinkle the cajun over top and bottom and pan fry over high heat for about 3-4 mins each side.
I use a mexican hotplate for this, but a frying pan with a little oil would be fine.
I squeeze the lemon over as I am cooking them.
Serve with salad and rice....

beryllium - Did you get a chance to try this seasoning instead of your Shwartz Cajun yet? It is great on all kinds of fish, chicken and meat. I think you just might like it and it only costs pennies to make!
