• Chef's Tips

  Keep the cilantro stems too, cut roughly into large pieces and add as garnish.  Remember the main flavour of the cilantro is in the stems.

  Directions

  1. In a large pan over medium-high heat add 2 Tbsp of the olive oil, the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and stir well for 1 minute.  Add the zucchini and garlic, and sauté for another minute. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl add the remaining olive oil, beans, tuna, tomatoes, corn, red pepper, green onions, orange juice, lime juice, honey and pine nuts and stir until well combined. 
  3. Add the sautéed zucchini mixture, and combine completely.  Season with salt and pepper and garnish with cilantro.
