Wasabi Peas, beyond the snack...

Wasabi Pea Crusted Tuna with Caramelized Green Onions, Oyster and Shiitake Mushrooms and Soy

Wasabi Tuna ingredientsWasabi Tuna ingredients I have loved wasabi peas for awhile now, but the other day something hit me. I wanted to use them in a super cool way that takes them far beyond being a simple snack. Wasabi Peas in the grinderWasabi Peas in the grinder I used a coffee grinder and zapped a handful of the crispy peas until they looked like a rough bread crumb. Ground Wasabi PeasGround Wasabi Peas Then I coated some beautiful fresh tuna with it. Tuna SteakTuna Steak I grabbed some oyster and shiitake mushrooms and a few green onions too, threw them into a screamin' hot saute pan and caramelized for about 5 minutes or so, then added some chopped garlic, sesame oil, and a splash of soy sauce. Coating Tuna Steak with Wasabi PeasCoating Tuna Steak with Wasabi Peas I did the same thing for the tuna. Get a saute pan wicked hot "Take it to the Penthouse" as soon as you see the oil begin to "smoke" add the wasabi pea coated tuna steaks. Coated Tuna Steaks with Wasabi PeasCoated Tuna Steaks with Wasabi Peas Allow them to crisp on each side for about 45 seconds per side. Evenly slice the tuna to show the beautiful rare center and serve with the caramelized veggies. Its a super easy and really fun dish. I might start playing around with some more snack type foods and see what I come up with. I hope you guys dig it... Garnished and Beautiful!Garnished and Beautiful!

Uhh...this looks delicious and it is also easy to cook, it is not expensive and it takes a little time. I'll certainly cook it, because I want so much to see how it tastes.
