Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Pickled Onion

    In a small bowl, combine the sliced red onion with 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  2. 2

    Citrus Gastrique

    In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and cayenne pepper. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half and slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Fried Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and slice into wedges. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the avocado wedges until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Crispy Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato fries in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until crispy, turning halfway through.

  5. 5

    Grilled Tuna

    Season the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the tuna for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Assembly

    On each plate, place a grilled tuna steak, a few fried avocado wedges, and a portion of crispy sweet potatoes. Top with pickled onions and drizzle with citrus gastrique before serving.
