How to Make Cuban Ahi With Banana Mango Chutney

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Peel and slice 4 ripe bananas. Add them to the saucepan.
  4. Stir in 1 cup diced fresh mangoes.
  5. Simmer the fruit mixture uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  6. Add 2 more peeled and sliced bananas to the chutney.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup diced fresh mangoes and 1/4 cup raisins.
  8. Stir well, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. While the chutney rests, heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear 2 (6-ounce) ahi tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are dark brown on the outside and rare in the center. Adjust cooking time depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  10. Serve the seared ahi tuna steaks over a bed of rice. Top generously with the banana mango chutney. Garnish with your favorite salad and vegetables.
  11. Enjoy your delicious and exotic Cuban Ahi with Banana Mango Chutney!
