MONTAUK BLUEFIN-TUNA TARTAR WITH FRESH HERBS



Montauk Bluefin-Tuna Tartar With Fresh Herbs image

This recipe is totally inspired by the freshness of the ingredients. The tuna has to be of the best sashimi quality, preferably from a belly cut where there is more fat. As for the herbs, I harvest them from our farm just before I start the preparation, and then I mince them with a very sharp knife so as not to bruise them.''
