SPICE-CURED TUNA TACOS

Use the freshest fish possible in these tacos. Instead of tuna, you could use fresh or smoked salmon, sliced scallops, picked white crabmeat, or chopped cooked king prawns

Categories     Lunch, Starter

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

400g fresh line-caught tuna
3 tbsp olive oil
2 limes , zested, 1 juiced
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
½ tsp chilli flakes
3 ripe avocados , de-stoned and peeled
3 tbsp coriander leaves
1 tbsp pickle liquor from the pickled jalapeño chillies
8small soft flour tacos
vegetable oil , for brushing and drizzling
pickled jalapeño chillies
50g pomegranate seeds
1bunch coriander , chopped, with a few leaves left whole
4 shredded spring onions
2 limes , cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Slice the tuna into 1cm strips, then dice into rough 1cm cubes. Drizzle over the olive oil and scatter over the lime zest, stir and put in the fridge for 20 mins or so. Gently toast the cumin and coriander in a small frying pan, then tip into a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt and the chilli flakes and crush to a coarse powder. Stir the spice mix into the tuna with the lime juice and put the bowl back in the fridge for at least 10 mins or up to 1 hr.
  • To make the avocado purée, put all the ingredients in a food processor with a pinch of salt and blitz until you have a smooth purée, adding a little oil if it's too thick to blitz. Spoon the mixture into a container.
  • If you like your tacos crispy, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, brush them with a little oil, place on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 mins. To build each taco, spoon on some avocado purée and spread out to the edge. Spoon on the spiced tuna and sprinkle over the chillies, pomegranate seeds, coriander and spring onions, drizzle with more oil and add a lime wedge to the plate. Eat with your hands, if soft, or a knife and fork if crispy.

GRILLED OR PAN-COOKED ALBACORE WITH SOY/MIRIN MARINADE



Grilled or Pan-Cooked Albacore With Soy/Mirin Marinade image

If you're concerned about which fish are environmentally safe to eat, you can't do better than consulting the Web sites of the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the Environmental Defense Fund for their handy pocket guides for buying seafood (or choosing it in a restaurant). You won't break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department. Among my findings were albacore steaks, one of the few types of tuna that we can still enjoy with a clear conscience, and a great fish if you're trying to eat more omega-3s. This is a sweet/savory marinade that I also use for tofu. If you are concerned about the quantity of soy sauce, know that most of it stays behind in the bowl when you cook the fish. If you are using frozen albacore steaks, wait until they are partly thawed before marinating.

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds albacore steaks

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger and sugar in a bowl and whisk together well. Whisk in the sesame oil.
  • Place the albacore steaks in a large bowl or baking dish and toss with the marinade. Cover the bowl, or transfer the fish and marinade to a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or longer.
  • Prepare a hot grill, or heat a heavy cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade. Cook the steaks for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like the fish to be. Serve hot.

SPICY SPOT PRAWN MAYO

This mayo is an ingredient in "Thetis Queen" Albacore Tuna Tacones. Both these receipes are a delicious find from a Victoria restaurant, Red Fish, Blue Fish. http://www.redfish-bluefish.com/ Be warned, this stuff is highly addictive! (The original recipe calls for sriracha which isn't a listed ingredient here, so I subbed Thai Hot Sauce.)
