As tuna season is in full swing, with wild fresh tuna selling at €8-10, it would be a pity not to indulge.

And when I see really fresh tuna I want to taste it raw either as a carpaccio by slicing really thin slices and seasoning them with salt and pepper and a drizzle of lemon, or by making tartare.

This is quite easy and can be made with minimal ingredients as long as the tuna is very fresh

Serves 2

Ingredients:

100g Tuna cut in small cubes

1 Avocado diced

6 Cherry Tomato quartered

1tsp Capers

1tsp Olive Oil

1tsp sesame seed

Few drops Chili Oil to taste but don’t drown the flavour of the tuna

Few leaves of Mint chopped

S&P

Lemon

Method:

Put all ingredients on a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix well. Use a ramekin or cookie cutter and spoon in the ingredients to get the pretty shape. Leave to rest for 10 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice just before serving. So good ! 😋
