WASABI AHI TUNA TARTARE

An easy sushi inspired tuna appetizer for two. I use 100% cold pressed unrefined peanut oil because it retains a strong peanut aroma and taste. The furikake does all the heavy lifting in this recipe.

Tips:

Use the freshest tuna possible for the best flavor and texture.
Buy sushi-grade tuna if you can find it. If not, you can use regular tuna, but be sure to freeze it for at least 24 hours before using to kill any parasites.
Chop the tuna very finely. You can do this by hand with a sharp knife or by using a food processor.
If you're using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the tuna. You want it to be finely chopped, but not mushy.
Season the tuna with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Add some minced ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Serve the ahi tuna tartare immediately, or chill it for a few hours before serving.
Garnish the tartare with some additional minced ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Wasabi ahi tuna tartare is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful dish, give wasabi ahi tuna tartare a try.
