Tuna Crudo

Cheese and Olive Topping

Method

Prepare the Tuna

  1. 1

    Slice the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh Ahi tuna into small bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 cm in size.

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, capers, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tuna

    Add the diced tuna to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Topping

  1. 4

    Chop the Cheeses

    Dice the assorted cheeses into small pieces, similar in size to the tuna cubes.

  2. 5

    Slice the Black Olives

    Slice the black olives in half to create a decorative and easy-to-eat topping.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Basil

    Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves. You can leave them whole or tear them into smaller pieces.

Assemble the Bites

  1. 7

    Plate the Ingredients

    On a serving platter, arrange the marinated tuna cubes, diced cheeses, sliced black olives, and basil leaves.

  2. 8

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Finish the dish by drizzling a little extra olive oil over the assembled ingredients for added flavor.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately as an appetizer or a light bite, allowing guests to pick and choose their preferred combinations.
