Mango mojo is an excellent complement to grilled tuna as well as pork loin,
chicken breast and scallops. The fresh, clean taste of cilantro, the piquant
bite of fresh chilies and faint crunch of red bell pepper highlight mangos
sweetness with dynamic aplomb.
1 cup mango juice
1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger
2 x ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into 1/8 inch dice
3 x green onions, thinly sliced
1 x red bell pepper, cut into 1/8 inch dice
2 tbl dried mango, minced
1 tsp crystallized ginger, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
3 tbl minced cilantro
3 x serrano chilies, minced (jalapeno can be substituted, see note)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
6 x (6-ounce) tuna steaks, cut 1 inch thick
3 tbl olive oil
Instructions:
Instructions: To make the mojo: Combine the mango juice and fresh ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling, reducing by half, about 7 to 8 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Add cooled mango juice to the diced mango, green onions, bell pepper, dried mango, crystallized ginger, lime juice, cilantro, chilies, oil and salt. Set aside.

To grill tuna: Prepare a medium fire in the grill. Oil and season the tuna steaks with olive oil, salt and pepper; arrange on the hot grate, and grill about 3 minutes per side per inch of thickness or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the fish to serving plates, spoon some mojo over each tuna steak and serve immediately.

Note: Wear gloves when handling fresh, canned, dried or pickled chilies; the oils can cause a burning sensation on your skin.
