Tuna Tartare

By Wes Moon

INGREDIENTS

Sushi-grade tuna, cut into small cubes

4 green onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

1 avocado, chopped into small pieces

1/2 cup diced cucumber

A handful of cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice

pinch of salt & pepper

SAUCE

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 spring onions, chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

METHOD

Add all the sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix together. Set aside.

Add the cut-up tuna, green onions and sesame seeds directly to the bowl of sauce and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the finely chopped avocado, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Plate your tartare by using a mold (like a martini glass), or a circular ramekin inverted onto plate.

Serve these up with your favorite rice crackers on the side. Garnish with sriracha, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
