Tuna Tartare

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Using a sharp knife, dice the fresh sushi-grade tuna into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into similar-sized cubes as the tuna. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the tuna.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, ponzu sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the dressing over the tuna and avocado mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped chives or green onions over the top of the tartare. Serve immediately, ideally with wonton chips or on a bed of greens.
