Garlic Ahi Recipe From Irifune Recipes

BEST AHI POKE

Steps:

• Slice the tuna into 1-inch cubes. Mince the onion. Thinly slice the green onions. Mix them in a bowl with the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, kosher salt and Sriracha.
• Serve immediately, but for most authentic flavor marinate in refrigerator for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Taste and add a sprinkle of salt before serving.* (Get this in the fridge while the rice boils and you prep the veggies, and you can eat when it's all done.)

FURIKAKE AHI WITH CILANTRO DIP

Steps:

• For the tuna: Put furikake spice on a large plate, then coat the ahi on both sides with furikake.
• Preheat a nonstick pan, then add butter. Sear ahi steaks on both sides, 10 to 15 seconds per side for rare to medium-rare.
• For the cilantro dip: Combine mayonnaise, garlic, ginger, oil, Worcestershire, cilantro and lemon juice in a food processor.
• Serve tuna with rice, salad and the cilantro dip.

JOHNNY GARLIC'S AHI WON TACOS

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the canola oil to 360 degrees F. Fold the pot sticker skins to create a taco shape and fry in the canola oil. Set aside to cool.
• In a small bowl, gently toss the tuna, Mango Jicama Salsa and Sweet Soy Sauce. Fill each taco shell with 1/4 of the mixture, and finish with a 1/2-ounce drizzle of the Wasabi Cream.
• To serve, arrange the tacos over a bed of the pea shoots and dress with the eel sauce.
• In a small bowl, gently stir all of the ingredients together. Allow the flavors to marry for 20 minutes before serving.
• Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip on high until the mixture forms hard peaks, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

ROASTED GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Take the whole heads of garlic and cut the tops off to expose the garlic cloves. Place on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil into a tight pouch, and then place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Squeeze the pulp from the skins (you'll need 1/3 cup).
• In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with parsley.

ROSEMARY-LEMON GRILLED AHI

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place lemons, cut side up, in a small, non-aluminum flameproof baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, about 6 inches below the heat, until very soft, about 20 minutes. The tops will darken and caramelize. Let cool in the baking dish.
• Squeeze the lemon pulp and juice and scrape all the cooking juices from the baking dish into a strainer supported over a bowl. Force it through and add garlic. Whisk in rosemary and extra-virgin olive oil. Keeps up to 1 week refrigerated in a tightly sealed container.
• Soak rosemary or wooden skewers in water to cover 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat grill or broiler. Skewer 2 tuna pieces lengthwise on each rosemary sprig and brush with marinade. Season with salt and pepper and grill, turning once or twice, to medium rare, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on heat. Serve immediately.
