Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh sushi-grade ahi tuna fillet
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Begin by dicing the fresh ahi tuna fillet into small cubes, about 1/4 inch in size. Set aside in a cold bowl to keep chilled.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into similar-sized cubes as the tuna.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Grate the fresh ginger.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), grated ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the diced tuna, avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro into the bowl with the lime juice mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the tuna tartare immediately on chilled plates or small appetizer bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional cilantro if desired.
