A mixture of mango chutney, wasabi mustard -- asian sweet-hot mustard, scallions, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful.

Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Maddalena Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
