Ok, tuna tartare is something that is done on probably too many restaurant menus, but if you do this for guests at your house........ prepare to be complimented. And if not, your house guests are snobby people who just like to complain, or you messed this up. Either way, if done properly, the option that includes compliments with probably occur.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
12 oz ahi tuna, medium diced
2oz minced serrano peppers
8oz small diced avocado
2oz minced red onion
3oz chopped cilantro
1oz sesame seeds
3tbl soy sauce
2tbl sesame oil
2oz minced bell peppers, preferably red or orange to give a contrast in color
2 oz green onions, sliced thinly
1 lime-zest and juice
Take all ingredients, mix in a mixing bowl. Serve 3 oz portions. I recommend using a small cup to make a mold with each serving by placing 3 oz of the mixed tartare in the cup. Then place the cup upside down in the plate you want to serve it. If it is held firmly enough in the bowl, it will give a structured shape on you plate and not a big lump. You can garnish with some microgreens, serve with some wonton chips, or just enjoy with a fork.
mmm sounds Tuna Tartastic!
