Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Ensure your sushi-grade tuna is properly thawed if frozen and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Dice the tuna into small, even cubes (approximately 1/2 cm in size) and place them in a mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and dice it into cubes similar in size to the tuna.
Peel half a cucumber and dice it into small cubes, similar in size to the avocado and tuna.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tuna, avocado, and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free), sesame oil, and finely grated fresh ginger to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Finely chop fresh cilantro, if using, and fold it into the mixture. Add the sesame seeds, salt, and pepper, and gently mix again.
Taste the tartar and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
For an elegant presentation, place a round serving mold or ring on each serving plate, and pack the tuna tartar mixture into the mold. Gently remove the mold to reveal a perfectly shaped tartar.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra sesame seeds or a cilantro leaf, if desired. Serve immediately.
