Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Navel oranges
1/4 cup Orange-juice concentrate
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme -- or 1 t dried
1 teaspoon Reduced-sodium soy sasuce
20 milliliters Garlic -- minced
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 3/4-inch-thick tuna steak -- cut into 4 portions
1/4 pound Shiitake mushrooms -- stems
thinly sliced -- (2 cups)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 4 pieces of parchment paper or aluminum
foil for papillotes (as described in previous "All Wrapped Up"
recipes). Using a sharp knife, remove skin and white pith from the oranges. Cut
the segments away from their surrounding membranes. Squeeze any remaining juice
from the membranes into a small bowl. Stir in orange-juice concentrate, thyme,
soy sauce, garlic and pepper.
Place a piece of tuna on one half of each opened paper heart. Distribute
mushrooms and orange sections over the tuna. Spoon orange juice mixture over
top. Seal the packages and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12
minutes, or until the packages have puffed. (You may want to open one package
to check that the tuna flesh is opaque.) Transfer the packages to individual
plates; let each diner open his or her own package. Serves 4. 212 calories per
