I love to create quick meals-which usually means something delicious and satisfying that I can whip together in under 20 minutes. But there are days, like today, when even 20 minutes is too long for me, and that's when I assemble my Pepper Crusted Tuna With Roasted Red Pepper and Cannellini Bean Salad. Honestly, it may take you longer to say the recipe's name than to make it!
This dish takes about 6 minutes to prepare. Just season and sear the tuna and combine a salad of mixed lettuce, roasted peppers and cannellini beans. Toss the salad with a quick lemon vinaigrette and serve the salad with a loaf of hot French bread. Quick and delicious!
