Hawaiian Tuna Tartare With Fresh Seaweed image

Ahi Poke, they call it in Hawaii, a healthy raw dish that comes together fast. Start with the best tuna that you can find and a packet of the Japanese dried seaweed that you can find now in many supermarkets and health food stores. The seaweed, ginger and sesame oil will give the dish some Asian spice, while the mint and lime juice will cool it off. Plus: Peanuts!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup fresh Japanese red seaweed or finely silvered soaked dried hijiki (sold in Japanese markets and health food stores)
1 pound sashimi-quality tuna, cut in 1/2-inch dice
1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped salted peanuts
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
6 leaves romaine lettuce, rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Chop the fresh seaweed. If using dried seaweed, soak in warm water for 15 minutes, drain and then simmer in water to cover for 15 minutes. Drain, chop and place in a bowl.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except lime juice and lettuce, and let the mixture marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Toss the mixture with the lime juice. Place a lettuce leaf on each of 6 plates, and top with a loose mound of the tuna. Serve.

As a sushi lover, I was excited to try this Hawaiian tuna tartare. It didn't disappoint! The fish was fresh and flavorful, and the seaweed salad was the perfect accompaniment. I especially appreciated the subtle heat from the Sriracha.

This tuna tartare was a hit at my beach party! I used fresh ahi tuna from the fish market and it was divine. The seaweed added a nice briny flavor and the avocado and mango gave it a creamy and tropical twist. I'll definitely be making this again!
