Tuna Crudo

Black Garlic Aïoli

Ginger Crispy Shallots

Method

Tuna Crudo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna

    Thinly slice the fresh sushi-grade tuna into ¼ inch thick slices. Arrange them artfully on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Season the Tuna

    Sprinkle the sliced tuna with sea salt and black sesame seeds. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to marinate lightly.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Top with microgreens for a fresh touch before serving.

Black Garlic Aïoli

  1. 4

    Make the Aïoli

    In a small bowl, mash the black garlic cloves into a paste. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth.

  2. 5

    Incorporate Olive Oil

    Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the aïoli is creamy and well combined.

Ginger Crispy Shallots

  1. 6

    Slice the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and set aside.

  2. 7

    Fry the Shallots

    In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  3. 8

    Add Ginger

    In the last minute of frying, add the grated ginger to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
