Tuna Tartare

Garnish

Method

Preparation of Tuna Tartare

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Finely dice the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes (approximately 1/4 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 the flesh out. Dice the avocado into small cubes similar in size to the tuna. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the tuna.

  3. 3

    Add Seasonings

    Chop the green onion finely and add it to the bowl. Then, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

  4. 4

    Add Sesame Seeds

    Sprinkle in the sesame seeds and gently fold them into the mixture. This adds a nice crunch and flavor to the tartare.

Plating

  1. 5

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a small bowl, pack the tuna tartare mixture tightly to form a neat shape. Carefully lift the mold off to retain the shape on the plate.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Top the tartare with microgreens or edible flowers for presentation. Sprinkle extra sesame seeds on top for added flavor and visual appeal.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or on its own. Enjoy your fresh and delicious tuna tartare!
