Tartare Base

Spicy Mayo

Garnish

Method

Prepare the Tartare

  1. 1

    Chop the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, finely dice the fresh Ahi tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tuna, mashed avocado, and sesame oil. Gently fold together until just mixed, being careful not to break down the avocado too much.

Make the Spicy Mayo

  1. 4

    Mix the Spicy Mayo

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Adjust the spice level to taste by adding more Sriracha if desired.

Plate the Dish

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a small bowl, layer the tuna avocado mixture into the mold, pressing down slightly to compact it. Carefully remove the mold to keep the shape.

  2. 6

    Drizzle with Spicy Mayo

    Drizzle the prepared spicy mayo over the top of the tartare.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped chives and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
