One of my favourite recipes…
To keep you busy until you’re able to visit me in the Teaching Kitchen,
try this gluten-free / dairy-free, Paleo, and/or AIP recipe that is part of my weekly repertoire.
Citrus Tuna Tartar
Stock up on vitamins C and D in this combination of tuna, avocado, and mandarine orange slices.
Ingredients
- juice of one lime
- juice of one lemon
- green onion, chiffonnade
- cilantro, chiffonnade
- 2 avocados, diced and sprinkled with lemon juice
- 1 mandarine orange, peeled, deveined, and split into segments**
- 180g albacore tuna loin
** You can also use canned mandarine oranges.
- Combine lime and lemon juice and set aside. (If using canned mandarine oranges, add 1/2 of the liquid from the can to this mixture.)
- Remove tuna from the fridge / freezer and, using a very sharp knife, cut into a medium dice. Combine with green onion, cilantro, and juice mixture. Salt to taste and reserve in fridge.
- Cut avocados in half and remove the pit. Cut avocado meat into a medium dice and sprinkle with lemon juice. Set aside.
- Plate using a plating ring. Fill to 1/2 full with diced avocado, pressing down with a spoon to make sure that the full ring shape is obtained. Add a next layer of the tuna mixture, gently raising the ring if necessary. Lay mandarine orange slices in a pattern as the top layer.
- Garnish as desired and serve chilled.
