Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Sushi-grade tuna steak
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 1 small Shallot (finely minced)
- 2 tbsp Chives (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Avocado (diced)
- 3 small Radishes (thinly sliced)
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup Microgreens or arugula
- 4 pieces Crusty bread or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your sushi-grade tuna is properly chilled. Using a sharp knife, dice the tuna into small, bite-sized cubes or thin slices according to your preference.
In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lime juice, capers, and minced shallot. Whisk the mixture together to create a flavorful dressing.
Gently toss the cubed tuna in the dressing, ensuring even coating. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the tuna chills, dice the avocado, thinly slice the radishes, and chop the chives.
Remove the tuna from the refrigerator and add the avocado, radishes, and chives. Gently toss everything together, taking care not to mash the avocado.
Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Plate the tuna crudo by spreading a bed of microgreens or arugula on a plate. Spoon the tuna mixture on top, arranging the avocado and radish slices for an appealing presentation.
Serve immediately with optional crusty bread or crackers on the side, if desired.
