Tuna Tartare @ 4:09 AM

The negligence of keeping my food blog up and running is intolerable for me, but I've been extremely busy since my last posting.

♥               ♥               ♥

So, this delicious yet classy dish was prepared last summer along with my sister and her boyfriend.  And I must say it's the most delicious thing I have made/ate for ages. What else would be better than a fusion dish? Tuna Tartare has a mix of Asian and American culture where raw fish is known among Japanese cuisine and diced foods among American dishes.  Together makes a perfect combo of the two cultures with additional hint of sesame oil and my favourite, avocados. Therefore I will be sharing with all of you this recipe, though I may have tweaked the recipes here and there. I hope you will all like it as much as I do.


Ingredients
• 18 ounces fresh tuna, trimmed and cut into 1/8-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and diced
• 1 salad onion, white only, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp clear honey
• 1/2 lime, juice only
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sesame seeds, to garnish
• 1 quail egg (optional)


Preparation method
1. Place the diced tuna, salad onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and lime juice into a large bowl.  Mix together well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
2. Place a 5cm/2in chefs' ring to the centre of a plate.  Spoon in the diced avocado followed by the tuna mixture and pressed down until firm
3. To serve, remove the ring and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.  
4. Optional: place the raw quails egg in the top center of the tuna tartare.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk wtih the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed: never throw out anyone.
