Ingredients

• 200 grams Sushi-grade tuna
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 small Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Ensure your sushi-grade tuna is properly thawed if frozen and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Dice the tuna into small, even cubes (approximately 1/2 cm in size) and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and dice it into cubes similar in size to the tuna.

Step 4

Peel half a cucumber and dice it into small cubes, similar in size to the avocado and tuna.

Step 5

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tuna, avocado, and cucumber.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free), sesame oil, and finely grated fresh ginger to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 8

Finely chop fresh cilantro, if using, and fold it into the mixture. Add the sesame seeds, salt, and pepper, and gently mix again.

Step 9

Taste the tartar and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

Step 10

For an elegant presentation, place a round serving mold or ring on each serving plate, and pack the tuna tartar mixture into the mold. Gently remove the mold to reveal a perfectly shaped tartar.

Step 11

Garnish with a sprinkle of extra sesame seeds or a cilantro leaf, if desired. Serve immediately.
