Time 27m

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds thickly sliced sashimi-grade tuna
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
4 tablespoons cracked pink and green peppercorns
Salt and pepper
4 ounces mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons wasabi powder
1 medium piece fresh peeled ginger
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 to 4 Belgian endives

Steps:

  • Have tuna sliced as thick as possible cutting against the grain into 1 1/2-inch rectangular pieces. Rub the fish with olive oil and roll in thyme, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. On a very hot grill sear the fish on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending upon the desired doneness. Set aside and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
  • For wasabi mayonnaise, start with 1 tablespoon of wasabi powder mixed with mayonnaise and add more, if desired, to taste.
  • Slice ginger into very thin sticks about 1-inch long. Place ginger, sugar, water and lemon juice into heavy saucepan and reduce to thick syrup. Be careful not to boil past medium ball state.
  • On individual washed white endive leaves place fish. Garnish with wasabi mayonnaise that has been put in a squeeze bottle and finish with a few pieces of ginger confit.
