3. Cooking:
Steam the greens (for around 10 mins) or if prefered - boil in a pan (around 5 mins).
Once cooked add the chopped tomatoes ( the heat of the greens will heat up the toms).
In the meantime cook the tuna in a skillet for 3 mins each side. (the centre of the tuna should be pink/opaque). Could also use a George foreman grill which reduces cooking time by half!
