Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams sushi-grade tuna
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 pieces scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small, uniform cubes (about 1 cm in size). Place the tuna in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Dice the avocado into small cubes, approximately the same size as the tuna.
Peel and seed the cucumber, then dice it into small cubes. Add the cucumber to the mixing bowl with the tuna.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, lime juice, and grated ginger.
Pour the prepared dressing over the tuna, avocado, and cucumber. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
Fold in the thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Divide the tuna tartar mixture evenly into two portions. For an elegant presentation, use a round mold to shape the tartar on serving plates. Optionally, garnish with additional sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, keto-friendly tuna tartar!
