SPICY TUNA TARTARE



Spicy Tuna Tartare image

At first glance this appears to be a steak tartare presented just as you would find it in any French bistro. Small mounds of finely chopped egg whites, their creamy yellow yolks, sharp red onion, and salty capers surround a carefully shaped ring of chopped red meat, all ready to be mixed and scooped up with crisp rounds of toast. But instead of minced steak, the star of this tartare is fresh tuna. Smoky chipotle puree and pungent Dijon mustard are blended with smooth olive oil so that they can coat each dice of tuna with flavor. Fresh green onions and delicate shallots contribute a soft onion flavor to the tartare, while the briny capers and fresh parsley add brightness. Delicious as is, the deceptive garnishes are what make this a playful American dish.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pureed canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely diced
1 pound fresh tuna, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 green onions, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brined capers, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 hard-cooked eggs, whites and yolks finely chopped separately
1 tablespoon brined capers, drained
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices French or Italian bread, toasted, brushed lightly with olive oil, and halved

Steps:

  • To make the tartare, whisk together the mustard, chipotle puree, oil, and shallot in a medium bowl. Fold in the tuna, green onions, capers, and parsley until combined. Season with salt and pepper. The tartare can be made only up to 10 minutes before serving.
  • Set a 4-inch ring mold in the center of a large dinner plate and gently pack some of the tartare mixture into the mold, pressing down on the top to make an even layer. Remove the mold and repeat to make 3 more servings. Scatter some of the garnishes over and around each plate. Serve each with 3 slices of toast.
