Watermelon "Tuna" Steaks

Surprising how watermelon, when baked, takes on a fish-like texture. These mind bending little vegan steaks are spicy, savory and just a little bit sweet. The perfect hydrating treat this summer! 

Ingredients:

half a seedless watermelon

sesame seeds

crushed nori

Marinade:

2 tbsps soya sauce

1 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp minced ginger

1 tsp minced garlic

Cut the watermelon in sliced wedges 3/4 - 1" thick. I had a watermelon that was not particularly tasty so this marinade really punched up the flavour! Combine the marinade ingredients and spoon onto both sides of the "steaks". Leave to marinate on the counter for up to 1 hour.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 40 minutes.

Then sear on the grill or in a pan for just a few minutes to get a little char on.

Garnish with sesame seeds and crushed nori.

I can't tell you just how good these were!!
