Grilling Recipe: Grilled Curried Albacore

Here at WhiteTrash BBQ, we receive all sorts of recipes in our mail. Most are useless and have nothing to do with live fire cooking, but sometimes a real gem comes along. Here's a great one.....

GRILLED CURRIED ALBACORE

1 lb. albacore loin
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. curry powder
½ tsp. grated ginger
1 tbsp. chopped red onion
1 tsp. honey
1 medium McIntosh apple, sliced thinly

Cut albacore loin into 1-inch thick medallions. Make the marinade by combining all other ingredients except the apple. Marinate the albacore covered glass dish for at least a half hour, turning once. Remove the medallions and reserve the marinade. Lay the albacore out on a hot grill; for most loins, 3-4 minutes on each side is sufficient. Baste generously with reserved marinade just before turning medallions over. Do not overcook -- albacore should be pink in the center when removed from heat. Serve over chilled apple slices.
