Diabetic friendly recipe for Tuna Tartare

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly shaved
  • 1 avocado, small dice
  • 12 crispy seaweed sheets.
  • black finishing salt, as needed, for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the tuna in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm. This will make it easier to dice.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the chives, onion, sesame oil, olive oil, salt and cayenne. Set aside.
  • When the tuna is ready to be sliced, place on a cutting board. Using a slicer (or a sharp chef’s knife), make thin slices with the grain. Next, take the slices and slice lengthwise. Turn the tuna and cut into small 1/8-inch dice. Place tuna in the mixing bowl.
  • Gently toss the ingredients to incorporate. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • To serve, place cucumber slices on the bottom of a serving bowl, add a generous dollop of tuna tartare, topping with diced avocado, seaweed and a dash of finishing salt .
