CURRIED TUNA TARTARE ON PAPPADAM



Curried Tuna Tartare on Pappadam image

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
12-ounce tuna steak
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/8-inch dice
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Juice of 1/2 small lemon
8 shots of hot sauce, or to taste
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 package plain pappadams, 11/4-inches in diameter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons finely diced onion
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons finely diced apple
1/2 banana, finely diced

Steps:

  • Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat, add the onion, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the curry powder, apple, and banana, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring continuously. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons water and cook for 4 minutes more, stirring. Remove from the heat and set aside until cool. (Make sure the curry sauce is cool before blending with the mayonnaise or it will separate. Add the curry mixture, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Add a little more water if the curry sauce is too thick. Set aside. Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place into a very cold bowl. Add the cucumber, 1 teaspoon of chives, 1/2 cup curry sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Cover and place into the refrigerator until ready to assemble. This can all be done up to 3 hours in advance. Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 2 or 3 pappadams at a time, turning them over when they start to curl. Cook until bubbles appear, or they start to turn golden brown, about 20 seconds. Do not allow them to get to dark or they will have a burnt flavor. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Keep them in a warm oven until ready to use up to 2 hours; this will dry them out and keep them crisp. Arrange 1 teaspoonful of the tuna tartare on each mini pappadam, and garnish with the remaining chopped chives.

This is a nice make ahead recipe. The asparagus is so sweet and flavorful that you might want to elimate the dressing altogether.

CITRUS TUNA SALAD

Easy to put together, this salad is low cal and low fat. No mayo or sour cream. Serve with saltine crackers, baked tortilla chips or tostadas. I like to add a chopped jalapeno (canned) or a good splash of Mexican hot sauce (Tapatio is very good). Adjust the amount of veggies and citrus juice to your taste.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup shelled fava beans (from about 1¼ lb. pods)
8 oz. asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut on a diagonal into 1" pieces
5 oz. frozen shelled edamame or 10 oz. edamame pods, shelled (about 1 cup)
4 oz. French green beans, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
2 lemons
1 orange
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 Tbsp. fennel seeds, lightly crushed
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. sugar

Steps:

  • Cook fava beans in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until pale green and tender and skins look swollen, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water. Let cool completely, about 2 minutes. Remove from ice bath with slotted spoon and peel outer layer from fava beans; set aside.
  • Combine asparagus, edamame, and green beans in the same pot of boiling water and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath and let sit until cold, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from lemons, leaving as much white pith behind as possible. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice though your hand or fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Remove peel from orange with peeler; set fruit aside for another use (or eat!)
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium until shimmering, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Add garlic and let sizzle until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon and orange zest, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, salt, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain vegetables, discarding any remaining ice cubes, and add to infused room-temperature oil along with lemon juice; stir to combine. Transfer vegetables and oil to a 1½-qt. glass jar; cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Do ahead: Vegetables can be marinated up to 6 days ahead. Keep chilled.

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (6 ounce) fillets ahi (yellowfin) tuna steaks, sushi-grade if possible
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
¾ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
48 haricots verts (thin, French green beans), trimmed
16 baby carrots, greens trimmed to 1/4-inch
16 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
16 Nicoise, Gaeta, or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chervil sprigs

Steps:

  • Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss tuna with marinade, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Pour vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and soy sauce into the bowl of a blender. Add shallot, 1 tablespoon parsley, thyme, dill, honey, Dijon mustard, jalapeno, and ginger. Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
  • When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
  • To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, marinate the asparagus for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the asparagus in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
  • To make the tuna tartare, use sushi-grade tuna for the best results.
  • If you don't have sushi-grade tuna, you can also use canned tuna, but be sure to drain it well and break it up into small pieces.
  • Serve the salad with your favorite dressing. A citrus vinaigrette or a creamy dill dressing would both be delicious.
