Tuna Avocado Tartare

A quick make that looks impressive and is really easy to put together. If your sushi moulds are square, use a rectangular plate. Assemble them next to each other for a more eye-catching effect. You can, should you be feeling on the lazy side, also whip this recipe up as a buddha bowl, by adding chickpeas and salad greens.

Directions

  • In a chopper or food processor add the tuna, ginger powder and a dash of salt. Ground to a fine tartare paying attention to not overdo it (you overdid it when it turns into a paté). Set aside.

  • For the dressing mix as follows ✶ liquids: ⅓ soy sauce, ⅔ sesame oil, a dash of lemon juice ✶ spices: a dash of ginger powder and ground white pepper.
  • Grab your sushi mould, add a spoon of avocado, press down, open up carefully and then add a spoon of tuna tartare, press down. Open up and place on your serving plate. Repeat until you used up all of the ingredients 😉

    Serve immediately, enjoyed best with a food buddy!
