Fresh Tuna Ceviche Recipes

ASIAN-STYLE TUNA CEVICHE

Steps:

• Finely slice the tuna steak then finely chop and slice the other way until you have a good, evenly-chopped consistency. Scrape it into a bowl with half the coriander leaves and all the stalks.
• In a separate bowl, mix the lime zest and juice with the ginger, sesame oil, extra virgin olive oil and soy sauce to make a delicious dressing. Have a taste, and tweak with extra lime, oil or soy until you've got a good balance.
• Pour the dressing over your tuna and gently mix together - as soon as the acid from the limes hits the tuna it will begin to cook it so you only need to mix lightly.
• Click off the stronger outer leaves of your little gem lettuces - you want about 16 in total. Wash them and spin dry well, then line them up on a board. The leaves are going to act as a vessel to hold your ceviche.
• Divide the tuna ceviche between the lettuce leaves, sprinkle with a little fresh chilli, if using, the reserved coriander leaves, then serve straight away.
