"Deliciously flavored tuna with a fresh sauce reminiscent of chimichurri. This is awesome served over couscous. The chermoula is a flavor explosion, and a fantastic condiment all by itself!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes so they don't burn.
Step 2
Place the tuna in a shallow non-metallic dish. In a small bowl, combine the oil, cumin and lemon rind and pour over the tuna. Toss to coat, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, for the chermoula, place the coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small frying pan and toast over medium heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. DO NOT BURN! Combine with the remaining chermoula ingredients and set aside.
Step 4
Thread the tuna onto the skewers. Lightly oil your indoor grill or your barbeque and cook the skewers for 1 minute on each side for rare, or 2 minutes for medium.
Step 5
Serve the skewers on a bed of couscous and drizzle with the chermoula.
