Method

Preparation of Tuna Tartare

  1. 1

    Step 1: Prepare the Tuna

    Finely dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl.

    Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small cubes, similar in size to the tuna, and gently fold them into the bowl with the tuna.
