A fresh, quick recipe with bluefin tuna — serve it as soon as it is made.

Bluefin tuna tartare

Ingredients for one serving

  • 100 g bluefin tuna
  • 10 g capers
  • 10 g avocado
  • 5 ml soy sauce
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2–3 pink peppercorns

Method

  1. Finely chop the chilled tuna with a knife and put it in a bowl.
  2. Add the finely chopped avocado and the capers, drained of their brine.
  3. Season with soy sauce, salt and pink pepper freshly ground in a mortar, then mix.

Tips

  • Serve straight after preparing and do not keep it long — the fish and the other ingredients change in texture, colour and taste.
  • If you like, shape it in a ring mould on the plate, or serve it in a cocktail glass.
  • You can garnish with breadsticks, fresh herbs such as dill, basil or spring onion, or edible flowers.
  • For a more refined version, smoke the tartare with a handheld smoker and “Jack Daniels” or “Chicory” chips under a glass dome for 1–2 minutes.
