Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 1 medium, ripe Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 1 stalk, finely chopped Green onions
- 0.5 medium, finely diced Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by dicing the sushi-grade tuna into small cubes, around 1/4-inch in size. Ensure your knife is sharp for a clean cut.
Peel and pit the avocado. Dice it into cubes similar in size to the tuna.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to form the dressing.
Add the diced tuna into the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the tuna evenly, then set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Add finely chopped green onions, diced cucumber, black sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro to the tuna mixture. Gently fold in these ingredients to combine.
Finally, add the avocado to the tuna mixture and gently mix to integrate without mashing the avocado.
Taste and adjust flavors if necessary – adding a bit more lime juice or cilantro to balance the flavor as desired.
To serve, you can use a mold to shape the tartare tightly on a plate or simply spoon the mixture stylishly. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or cilantro if desired.
Serve chilled immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant taste.
