Tuna tartare just sounds fancy doesn't it?! Some of my girlfriends joke around that part of the reason I make this recipe is because it's fun to say...they are definitely right.
Grab a few of the fresh ingredients listed below and follow the quick directions for a crowd pleasing appetizer. This recipe is best when eaten the same day it was made.
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh tuna steaks (you can typically find this near the deli meats section)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 limes, zest of, grated
- 1cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 teaspoons wasabi powder or creme...I've used minced horseradish as well
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 bunch green onions; chopped
- 1 large minced fresh jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
- 1 ripe Hass avocadoes
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- In a second bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Pour over the tuna, add the green onions and jalapeno, and mix well.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and chop into 1/4 inch cubes
- Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture; so that the lime juice covers them. Once you drizzle the lime juice on the avocado it will prevent them from browning.
- Add the toasted sesame seeds and allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend.
- Serve on crackers of your choice.
