Step 2

Peel the skin off the mango. Slice the flesh away from the stone. There is no exact science to this and it can be a pain in the hole to do but you’ll get there in the end.

Step 12

The key with cooking the tuna is an unbelievably hot pan. Leave it on to get heat for a good 2 minutes. All we want to do is sear the tuna not actually cook it through.

Step 13

This process will literally take about 20 seconds on each side. No longer, there’s nothing worse than dry overcooked tuna.

Step 14

Whip it out of the pan immediately and lash it into the bun and get it to the table quickly.

How good does that look? You could even upgrade it a bit more by throwing the tuna on the BBQ in the summer. The perfect treat day dish that isn’t even that bad for you. Get stuck in!!
