1/2 Tbsp finely grated onion
1 Tbsp Spiral Wholegrain Mustard

METHOD
Mix all ingredients in a jar and shake well to make Tamari Vinaigrette Sauce. Set aside.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion first, then the rest vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.
Place the vegetables nicely side of each serving plate, sprinkle edamame or green peas (optional).
In the same frying pan, heat the olive oil, salt and pepper to tuna and sear quickly the surfaces of both sides.
Pour the sauce and warm quickly. Tuna should be medium-rare (centre is still raw).
Take out the tuna and slice them and place 4-5 pieces on each plate.
Heat the sauce in the frying pan to make it a little thicker. Spoon the sauce and pour over the tuna and serve.
