An easy sushi inspired tuna appetizer for two. I use 100% cold pressed unrefined peanut oil because it retains a strong peanut aroma and taste. The furikake does all the heavy lifting in this recipe.

SEARED AHI TUNA AND AVOCADO TARTARE



Seared Ahi Tuna and Avocado Tartare image

Michael Shrader of Nine Restaurant Group in Palm Springs, Florida, writes: "Both sides of my family cooked a lot when I was growing up, so I've had plenty of inspiration to draw on as a chef. From my mother's Sicilian heritage, I learned about homemade pasta, braised meats, and biscotti-before they became fashionable. My dad is part German, and he was known for his talents working the grill. On my days off from the restaurant, I cook for my wife at home. We tend to eat light, and I cook with foods that are in season since I've never been one for complicated dishes. It's just not my style. I'd rather have sliced tomatoes with a good olive oil or pasta with vegetables than something fussy." A sophisticated, fresh, and spicy dip for tortilla chips or baguette rounds.

Seared Ahi Tuna Tartare With Avocado image

From epicurious.com. I have to say, I had to muster up all of my willpower not to eat this all in one sitting. This is a lot like ceviche, without the long wait for the lime juice to "cook" the fish. If you're preparing this far ahead of time, you may want to add the avocado at the last minute (it will discolor if it sits for too long). I hope you like it!

Valuable Tips for Making Ahi Tuna Tartare Recipes

Ahi tuna tartare is a popular dish that has gained popularity amongst food lovers. It is a refreshing and light dish that can be served as an appetizer or even as a main course. The dish owes its popularity to the delicious flavors and stunning presentation. Below are some valuable tips that you can use when preparing your own ahi tuna tartare recipe.

Choose the Right Fish

The key ingredient in ahi tuna tartare is the fish itself. When selecting your fish, it is important to choose the freshest and highest quality tuna. Look for tuna that has a deep red color and is firm, but not too stiff or soft. Avoid dull or brownish colors, as it indicates that the fish is old or has been mishandled. Fresh tuna can be expensive but it is worth it for this dish.

Prep and Season the Fish

Tuna is a delicate fish that requires careful handling. The key to a perfect ahi tuna tartare is to chop the fish into small cubes or finely minced pieces with a sharp knife. Using a dull knife can cause the fish to fall apart or become mushy. Once chopped, season the fish with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Be sure to season the fish just before serving to avoid it becoming watery or over marinating.

Add Flavorful Ingredients

The beauty of ahi tuna tartare is that you can customize the flavors according to your preference. Some classic ingredients include soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and sesame seeds. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and citrus juices like lime or lemon can also be used. Mix and match different ingredients to create a unique and flavorful dish.

Use Quality Condiments

Condiments can help elevate any dish and the same goes for ahi tuna tartare. Good quality condiments can make all the difference to the taste and presentation of your dish. Wasabi paste, pickled ginger, and sriracha sauce are common condiments used in ahi tuna tartare recipes. These condiments can be used to spice up the dish or add an extra punch of flavor.

Plate Your Dish Creatively

One of the things that makes ahi tuna tartare so special is its presentation. The dish is visually appealing and can be served in a variety of ways. You can serve the tartare in a ramekin or a small bowl, or arrange it on top of a bed of greens. Don't be afraid to experiment with different plating techniques like using a ring mold or decorative plate. Ahi tuna tartare is gorgeous on its own, but adding some colorful garnishes like microgreens or edible flowers can make it even more eye-catching.

Chill the Dish

It is essential to keep the ahi tuna tartare cold before serving. Once the fish is chopped and seasoned, the dish should be kept in the refrigerator until it is ready to be served. The ideal temperature for serving ahi tuna tartare is between 35-45°F. This ensures that the fish stays fresh and at its best flavor.

Be Creative

Last but not least, ahi tuna tartare is a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit any taste. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different ingredients or flavor combinations. You can try adding some avocado, mango, or cucumber to the mix. Or you can try using different types of fish like salmon or yellowtail. The possibilities are endless and it all comes down to your personal preference.

Conclusion

Ahi tuna tartare is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a stunning dish that is sure to impress your guests. Remember to choose the freshest ingredients, season it perfectly, and chill the dish before serving. Get creative with your plating and have fun experimenting with different flavors and ingredients.
