Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Sushi-grade tuna
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1.5 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns
Instructions
Start by placing the sushi-grade tuna in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm it up for easier dicing.
While the tuna is chilling, finely chop the red onion and set aside.
Dice the avocado and cucumber into small, uniform cubes. Set them aside separately.
Once the tuna is slightly firm, remove it from the freezer and dice it into small, uniform cubes similar in size to the avocado and cucumber.
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, and olive oil to make the dressing.
Add the diced tuna, red onion, cucumber, avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently mix the ingredients until evenly combined, taking care not to mash the avocado.
Add the capers, salt, black pepper, and lightly ground Sichuan peppercorns to the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cover the tartare with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve the tuna tartare attractively in molds or spooned onto plates with garnish, such as extra cilantro sprigs or slices of cucumber.
