Tuna Tartare Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- One-pound sushi-quality tuna
- Two tsp coarsely chopped fresh chives
- Two teaspoons of finely chopped red onion
- Two tsp sesame oil
- Two tsp pure virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- A pinch of cayenne
- Two Persian cucumbers with a thin shaving
- One avocado, cut into small pieces
- One or two crunchy sheets of seaweed
- If necessary, use black finishing salt as a garnish.
- Rice crackers, optional for serving
Instructions
- To firm up, place the tuna in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. Dicing will be simpler as a result.
- Combine the onion, sesame oil, olive oil, salt, and cayenne in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Put aside.
- Place the tuna on a chopping board and let it cool before slicing. Cut thin slices with the grain using a slicer or a sharp chef's knife. After that, cut the slices lengthwise. After flipping the tuna, cut it into tiny 1/8-inch dice. Fill the mixing basin with tuna. Toss the ingredients gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- To serve, line the bottom of a serving bowl with slices of cucumber, top with a heaping dollop of tuna tartare, chopped avocado, seaweed, and a final pinch of salt.
