Tartare Duet!...


The recipe of the week is specially dedicated to our follower Esperanza,  who insistently asked me to post this tartare duet this week!

More than a duet, is a dish of contrasting flavours, ingredients and why not ... continents! Recommend starting the trip by the bittersweet taste of tuna tartar and finish with the stronger flavors of the steak tartare!

Remember here the recipe of steak tartare I published earlier

For the tuna tartar will need:
1 loin of almadraba tuna
Sesame seeds
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 avocado

Start by mixing the sauces and sesame seeds in a bowl and set aside. As for the steak tartare, pick your best knife to finely chop the tuna. Mix with the sauce and set aside.
To serve put a level of avocado slices, cover with the tuna tartare and it is ready!

Tip: As I've told you in the steak tartare recipe, before mixing the tuna taste the sauce and adjust the flavours acording to your preferences...

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!...

Recipe of the Week: Tuna Tataki


Every time we go to the restaurant Miyama here in Madrid, about which I will write next Friday, one of the dishes we always order is tuna tataki. This is why, last week, when I went to the market and saw the quality and freshness of the Albacore, there is no doubt I'll try to do my first tataki at home!

Here is the result ...

You will need:

1 Albacore steak (Thunnus alalunga)
Soy sauce
1 handful of chives
1 leek
Juice of 1 lemon
Ginger
Bowl with water and ice

Due the risk of Anisakis, freeze the Albacore Steak for at least 24 hours at -20 ° C. Once defrosted immerse loins, in soy sauce. In a non-stick pan we sear the four sides of the albacore, remove from the pan and submerge in a bowl with water and ice in order to stop the cooking process. Submerge again in soy sauce and set aside.

In a bowl, mix the leek and chives finely chopped, the juice of a lemon and a piece of ginger grated. (If not a big fan of ginger go adding and tasting until you get the desired flavor, I used a piece the size of the thumb).

Cut the Albacore into slices, passing them again through the soy sauce and put it on a plate. Cover with the mixture prepared earlier and enjoy ...
