Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh ahi tuna
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml olive oil
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 small cucumber
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small red onion
- 200 grams cooked quinoa
- 100 grams arugula
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ahi tuna. Cut the fresh ahi tuna into small bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well mixed. Pour this marinade over the tuna cubes and gently toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and other ingredients. Dice the avocado, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside.
In the serving bowls, start by distributing the cooked quinoa evenly as a base.
Once the tuna is marinated to your liking, remove from the refrigerator and divide among the bowls, topping the quinoa.
Layer the avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the tuna in each bowl.
Sprinkle the bowls with sesame seeds, chopped parsley, and capers.
Finish each bowl with a handful of fresh arugula, and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Classic Poke Tuna Bowl!
