Method

Preparation of Tartare

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Start by finely dicing the fresh tuna into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch in size. Place the diced tuna in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the avocado and cucumber into similar-sized cubes as the tuna. Finely chop the red onion and add all these ingredients to the bowl with the tuna.

  3. 3

    Mix in Flavorings

    Add the capers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix all the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plating the Tartare

    Using a ring mold, carefully layer the tartare mixture onto each plate. Press down gently to shape it.

  2. 5

    Add Garnishes

    Finely slice the radishes and arrange them around the tartare. Top with a handful of microgreens for a fresh presentation.

  3. 6

    Final Touch

    Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top if desired and serve immediately.
