Michael Shrader of Nine Restaurant Group in Palm Springs, Florida, writes: "Both sides of my family cooked a lot when I was growing up, so I've had plenty of inspiration to draw on as a chef. From my mother's Sicilian heritage, I learned about homemade pasta, braised meats, and biscotti-before they became fashionable. My dad is part German, and he was known for his talents working the grill. On my days off from the restaurant, I cook for my wife at home. We tend to eat light, and I cook with foods that are in season since I've never been one for complicated dishes. It's just not my style. I'd rather have sliced tomatoes with a good olive oil or pasta with vegetables than something fussy." A sophisticated, fresh, and spicy dip for tortilla chips or baguette rounds.

SEARED AHI TUNA TARTARE WITH AVOCADO

From epicurious.com. I have to say, I had to muster up all of my willpower not to eat this all in one sitting. This is a lot like ceviche, without the long wait for the lime juice to "cook" the fish. If you're preparing this far ahead of time, you may want to add the avocado at the last minute (it will discolor if it sits for too long). I hope you like it!

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna tartare, use sushi-grade ahi tuna. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can also use frozen tuna that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • To make sure the tuna is finely minced, use a sharp knife or a food processor. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the tuna, as it can become mushy.
  • To make the crispy shallots, thinly slice the shallots and then fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn the shallots, as they can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
  • To make the soy sesame dressing, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. You can also add a bit of ginger or garlic for extra flavor.
  • To assemble the ahi tuna tartare, place the minced tuna in a bowl and mix it with the soy sesame dressing. Then, top the tuna with the crispy shallots, avocado slices, and any other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

Ahi tuna tartare is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ahi tuna tartare recipe a try.
