Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound sushi-grade tuna loin
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons apricot jam
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
4 teaspoons freshly ground yellow mustard seed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1/2 garlic clove, grated
3/4 cup canola oil
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
5 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 pound mixed microgreens, herbs and/or sprouts

Steps:

  • Slice tuna into 1/2-inch cubes, and refrigerate until needed.
  • To make aioli, combine egg yolk, jam, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, lime juice, mustard seed, ginger and garlic in blender or food processor. Process until combined. Mix together canola and 4 tablespoons olive oil in a liquid-measuring cup with a spout. Dribble oil mixture slowly into blender, and process until a thick emulsion forms. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until needed.
  • To make dressing, whisk together 2 remaining tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and the lemon juice. Place tuna in one bowl and microgreens in another; toss both lightly with dressing.
  • To serve, divide greens among large white spoons or saucers. Place 2 tuna cubes on top. Spoon a small dab of aioli on each tuna cube.

This dish was a disaster! The tuna was overcooked and the ginger-apricot aioli was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought the flavors in this dish were a bit too strong for my taste. The ginger-apricot aioli was especially overpowering. I would recommend using a milder aioli or sauce next time.

The tuna was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavors were still amazing. The microherbs and ginger-apricot aioli were a great touch. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the tuna for a shorter amount of time.
