Pro Tips for Success:

• Use sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and safety. Make sure to buy it from a trusted fishmonger or grocery store to ensure it’s fresh and high-quality.

• Customize with toppings: Feel free to get creative! Try adding a drizzle of spicy mayo, a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, or a few slices of fresh chili for extra flavor and crunch. You can add a bit more soy sauce or sesame oil if you like a stronger flavor, or add a dash of chili flakes for a bit of heat!

• Keep the tuna cold: When making tartare, it’s important to keep the tuna chilled to maintain its freshness and texture. If possible, work quickly and store the tuna in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

This Tuna Tartare is not just delicious — it’s also an elegant addition to any gathering.

Whether it’s for a laid-back picnic or a more formal dinner party, your guests will love the fresh, tangy flavors and the beautiful presentation.

Don’t forget to serve it with cucumber slices or crackers for that perfect crunchy contrast!
