Poppy Seed Crisps

Tuna Preparation

Cherry Tomato Preserve

Serving Garnish

Method

Poppy Seed Crisps

  1. 1

    Make the Crisps

    In a bowl, mix the flour, poppy seeds, salt, and softened butter until crumbly. Add water gradually until a dough forms. Roll out thinly and cut into desired shapes.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cut dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool.

Tuna Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tuna

    Brush the yellowfin tuna steak with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Sear the Tuna

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steak for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Cherry Tomato Preserve

  1. 5

    Make the Preserve

    In a saucepan, combine cherry tomatoes, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cool and Store

    Allow the preserve to cool before transferring it to a jar or container for serving.
