Tuna is high in essential fatty acids, while the cannellini beans will boost your intake of B vitamins, magnesium and carbohydrates. This is a great anti-PMS meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
• 400 g can cannellini beans, drained
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 3 tbsp capers
• juice of 1 lime
• 4 fresh tuna steaks
• salt and pepper

1. Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a small frying pan and fry the onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to soften. Toss with the cannellini beans, parsley, capers, lime juice, salt and pepper and set aside.
2. Preheat a griddle pan or grill. Brush the tuna steaks with the remaining oil and season. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Divide the cannellini beans between four plates and top each with a tuna steak.
