Notes
Tuna tartare is an easy recipe. The outcome depends on the freshness of the ingredients. In our version there are no herbs added. Something you can do, of course. Fresh oregano and or parsley for example blends in fine. Mint on the other hand tends to be a tad too prominent.Use your best olive oil for this recipe. And as an alternative, go for sesame oil.How do you serve tuna tartare? First of all, this is not a main course. That would be too much of the good stuff. Serve it during an aperitif or as a starter.The smoothness of the fish contrasts wonderfully with toasted bread. We recommend Nerello Mascalese spumante brut by Coppola for this dish.Make sure you freeze your fresh tuna for three days. That way you avoid the presence of the anisakis parasite.
