The sun is shinning, flowers are in bloom, we are all stuck in…there is no better time to make some food without cooking!
Okay, I know it’s a bit odd for you Brits, but I love tartares.. raw meet that is! I am not going hard core for now with my beef tartare (so yummy with chips, a real French pub classic), but I thought I’d start with something more “gentle”: the tuna tartare. With all the sushi and that, it should feel a bit more accessible.
It’s super quick, easy, yummy and healthy, what else could you possibly ask for ?
Enough with the patronizing comments, here’s the recipe:
Preparation time
- Preparation: 20 mins
- Cooking: NO COOKING YOU FOOL!!!
Ingredients (1 person)
- 1 tuna steak without skin and bones (can replace with Salmon for a richer texture). IT HAS TO BE SUPER FRESH!!!
- 1 nice and ripe avocado (Hass is the best)
- 1 spring onion
- 2 seafood sticks
- 1 teaspoon of capres (optional)
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspon of garlic granules
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt (nice big sea salt flakes if you have!)
- Cayenne pepper (or just pepper)
- 1 tbsp of chopped fresh coriander (parsley works too)
- 1/2 tbsp of chopped fresh dill (I love it with tarragon too – but it’s quite hard to find!)
Method
For the preparation? Chop it all (tuna, avocado and seafood sticks in nice cubes and the rest finely) and put it all in a bowl, stir… And that’s it!!
PS: for the faint hearted (or if you’re not sure how fresh the fish is) – you can quickly sear the tuna in the pan on all sides and let it cool down before adding in. Another option is to let the fish with the lemon and salt to “cook” for an hour before adding in the rest – Ceviche style!
