We give the traditional teriyaki tuna recipe a Mediterranean twist by using our organic Sweet Black Olive Spread, to provide the necessary sweetness, and a smooth, subtle texture. Our olive spread is made with extra virgin olive oil, and is gluten-free, all natural, and apt for vegans. This marinade also works well with salmon, chicken, and vegetables. You can make the recipe vegan replacing the tuna with any plant-based protein of your choice.
