Servings: persons

2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (400 g) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 tablespoons herbs, of your choice
1 tablespoon capers
4 (200 g) fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons oil
Greek yogurt, to serve

1
Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion about 5 minutes or until soft.
2
Add the crushed garlic and cook for a couple of minutes more.
3
Add the wine and cook for a few minutes then add the tomatoes and chickpeas.
4
Allow to cook gently for about 10 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, pour the boiling water over the couscous and cover for about 5 minutes.
6
Add the prepared couscous, herbs and capers to the tomato mix, season well with salt and pepper and set aside while you cook the tuna.
7
Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
8
Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the tuna about 4 or 5 minutes each side: this will give you a rare steak, if you'd like it cooked more add a couple more minutes each side. Remember though that it will keep cooking after you take it off the heat.
9
Gently reheat the tomato mix for a couple of minutes, then divide it between 4 plates and serve a tuna steak on each.
10
Serve with a dollop of yogurt over each steak.
