Steps:
- Finely slice the tuna steak then finely chop and slice the other way until you have a good, evenly-chopped consistency. Scrape it into a bowl with half the coriander leaves and all the stalks.
- In a separate bowl, mix the lime zest and juice with the ginger, sesame oil, extra virgin olive oil and soy sauce to make a delicious dressing. Have a taste, and tweak with extra lime, oil or soy until you've got a good balance.
- Pour the dressing over your tuna and gently mix together - as soon as the acid from the limes hits the tuna it will begin to cook it so you only need to mix lightly.
- Click off the stronger outer leaves of your little gem lettuces - you want about 16 in total. Wash them and spin dry well, then line them up on a board. The leaves are going to act as a vessel to hold your ceviche.
- Divide the tuna ceviche between the lettuce leaves, sprinkle with a little fresh chilli, if using, the reserved coriander leaves, then serve straight away.

TUNA CEVICHE
Fresh chunks of tuna, ripe mango, and creamy avocado combine to make the perfect appetizer or a tasty lunch. I love to eat this with lime-seasoned tortilla chips, but it's just as delicious served in lettuce cups. I try to keep the tuna, avocado and mango pieces between 1/4- and 1/2-inch in size. Best eaten same-day, but can be kept 1-2 days in fridge, keeping in mind that texture will change.

CEVICHE WITH AHI TUNA
This is my own creation using both modern and traditional ceviche methods. The key of course is fresh fresh Ahi. There's nothing better. Like 'butter'. [email protected] of the reasons that a really terrific Ceviche is , well, really terrific is the type of fish and/or seafood used. It MUST be absolutely of the freshest quality. A friend of mine and his girlfriend were recently in Hawaii and were raving about the quality of the Ahi there. We had a conversation on our foodservice professionals board ( www.restaurantbeast.com )about cryovac Ahi which is harvested in Hawaii and immediately IQF and placed in cryovac so that no oxygen can destroy it's freshness. Rumor has it that Roy Yamaguchi uses this type of Ahi for his restaurant in Palm Dessert (most likely not for his famous in Hawaii). My version is a bit of a cross between two different styles. Shrimp that has been quickly blanched pink, halibut or other sushi-grade fish can also be used in place of the Ahi.

Steps:
- some traditional recipes use ketchup which can be substituted for the tomato juice and sugar.
- Chop tuna into 1/4 inch cubes.
- Toss with 1/2 juices, and all ingredients with exception of mango and avocado cubes.
- Let sit to marinate as desired in refrigeration.
- Before serving, chop mango and avocado and separate.
- Toss separately in the rest of the juices.
- On a large serving plate, place a small ring mold in the center of the plate.
- Spoon an equal portion of mango into bottom of a small ring mold.
- Add an equal portion of avocado and top with equal portion of Ahi mixture.
- Press down and remove mold.

Tips:
- Use the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for ceviche. If you can't find fresh tuna, you can use frozen tuna that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cut the tuna into small cubes. This will help the ceviche to marinate evenly and cook quickly.
- Use a variety of citrus juices. Lime juice is the traditional citrus juice used in ceviche, but you can also use lemon juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice. A combination of different citrus juices will add a more complex flavor to the ceviche.
- Add other ingredients to taste. Common additions to ceviche include chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and avocado. You can also add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
- Marinate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the citrus juices to cook the tuna and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the ceviche for longer, but be careful not to over-marinate it, or the tuna will become tough.
- Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so make sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious ceviche that will impress your friends and family.
