Tuna Tartare

When life's so mundane that you can't think of anything to write about. When your mother comes to dinner and Jan serves up a treat. When you have no cute baby photos to post, then it's time to post a recipe.
This is good, very good and very grown up (so why did she give it to you then? - Ed)
I'd like to say that's it an old family recipe handed down through generation but it isn't. We got it from Paula in Barcelona. Enjoy.


Tuna Tartare


Ingredients:

• 400 gr red tuna
• 2 avocados
• 1 spring onion
• juice of one lemon
• sesame seeds
• chives

Marinade

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 table spoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• wasabi paste or dijon mustard (to taste) My advice is leave it out

Mix together the marinade ingredients. Cut the tuna into very small cubes and finely slice the spring onion then mix with the marinade and leave for at least 30 minutes. Longer won't hurt if you want to prepare it in advance.

Peel the avocado and cut into small cubes and mix with lemon juice, a little olive oil and season to taste.

Using a circular mould, make a base of avocado and cover with a layer of marinaded tuna.

Splash over some of the marinade juices and sprinkle with chopped chives and a few sesame seeds.
