Tuna Tartare

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Start by finely dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes. Make sure the pieces are uniform for an appealing presentation.

  2. 2

    Mix the Tuna Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tuna with soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Mix gently to coat the tuna evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into small cubes, similar in size to the tuna.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the diced avocado into the tuna mixture, being careful not to mash the avocado.

  5. 5

    Add Garnishes

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions over the tartare. If using, add chopped cilantro for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the tuna tartare mixture onto a serving plate or into individual bowls. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cucumber slices, if desired.
