   2                    Navel oranges
     1/4  c             Orange juice concentrate
   1      tb            Fresh thyme -- chopped -OR-
   1      ts            Dried thyme
   1      ts            Reduced-sodium soy sasuce
  20      ml            Garlic -- minced
     1/4  ts            Black pepper -- freshly ground
   1      lb            Tuna steak (3/4") --
                        - cut into 4 portions
     1/4  lb            Shiitake mushrooms (2 c) --
                        - stems thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 400°F. 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.

Yield: 4 Servings
