| 1. Put first 12 ingredients -- scallions through cinnamon -- into a blender and puree. | 2. Pour marinade into a plastic bag, then add the tuna. | 3. Place bag, sealed well, into the refrigerator for 2 - 6 hours, turning every once in a while to distribute marinade evenly. | 4. If using wooden skewers, cover them with water in a shallow dish and let stand for 2 hours. | 5.

On metal or wooden skewers alternately thread ingredients: a slice of onion, tuna , pineapple, bell pepper, zucchini, etc. or in any order that pleases you. | 9.
