tuna tartare recipe Avocado Bed With Chili Threads
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
- Diet: High-Protein
Description
This Tuna Tartare with Avocado Bed and Chili Threads is a fresh, elegant, and healthy dish featuring sushi-grade tuna, creamy avocado, and subtle warmth from chili threads, perfect for a quick and impressive meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz sushi-grade tuna, yellowfin or bigeye, finely diced
- 2 medium avocados (approx 300g total), ripe, mashed or diced for the bed
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil, toasted
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 whole lime, juiced (approx 2 tbsp)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 tsp chili threads, plus more for garnish
- A pinch salt
Instructions
- Prep Tuna: Gently dice sushi-grade tuna into small, even 0.25-inch (0.6 cm) cubes and place in a chilled mixing bowl.
- Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and lime juice until well combined.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the diced tuna and gently fold to combine, ensuring each cube is lightly coated. Stir in the thinly sliced green onions. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare Avocado Bed: While the tuna chills, mash or dice your ripe avocados. Season them lightly with a pinch of salt and a small squeeze of lime juice.
- Assemble Dish: Spoon the prepared avocado onto individual serving plates, forming a flat bed or neat mound. Top each avocado bed with the chilled tuna tartare mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle generously with additional chili threads and a final flourish of green onion slices.
Notes
If diced tuna appears mushy, ensure it is very cold before dicing and use a razor-sharp knife. If avocado starts to brown, a quick squeeze of extra lime juice will refresh its color and flavor. For dietary needs, use tamari for gluten-free, low-sodium tamari for lower sodium, or diced watermelon/tomato for a vegan alternative. Store leftovers sealed in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
