TUNA TARTAR

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces sushi-quality tuna
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 grinds black pepper
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 small red onion, sliced paper-thin
1 medium cucumber, sliced paper-thin
20 large caper berries
16 toast points (crusts removed)

Steps:

  • Dice the tuna as finely as possible, or put it through a meat grinder using the largest disk. Transfer to a small bowl and add the cilantro, shallot, ginger, oil, salt and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, mix the lime juice into the tuna. Divide the tuna between 4 small plates, mounding it in the center of the plates. Divide the onion, cucumbers, caper berries and toast points between the plates and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sushi-grade tuna. This is the key to making a great tuna tartare. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can try freezing regular tuna for a few days before using it. This will kill any parasites that may be present.
  • Chop the tuna finely. The finer you chop the tuna, the more tender and flavorful the tartare will be. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to chop the tuna.
  • Add a variety of seasonings and ingredients. This is where you can get creative and make your tuna tartare your own. Some popular additions include:
    • Capers
    • Onions
    • Avocado
    • Lemon juice
    • Dijon mustard
    • Wasabi
    • Soy sauce
    • Sriracha
  • Serve the tuna tartare immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh. You can serve it on crackers, crostini, or even just a bed of lettuce.

Conclusion:

Tuna tartare is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great appetizer or main course, and it's perfect for a party or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a tuna tartare that will impress your friends and family.
