Tuna Avocado Club Recipes

TUNA STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Add the tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, herbs, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined.
• Slice the avocados in half and remove the seed. Dollop a few spoonfuls of tuna salad onto each avocado half.

PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

TUNA AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Scoop out avocado contents and place in a bowl. Set aside shells.
• Mix in tuna, tomatoes, cilantro, pepper, chili powder, and salt. Divide mixture between shells to serve.

AVOCADO TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Cut avocado in half, scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, and mash avocado with the back of a fork or potato masher. Add tuna, apple, onion, celery, toasted walnuts, mayonnaise, pickle juice, dill, Dijon mustard, cumin, salt, and pepper; mix well.

TUNA AVOCADO WITH CAESAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Open the can of tuna and tip the contents into a sieve that has been placed over a bowl. Leave for a few minutes so the oil drains off. Meanwhile, halve the avocado and remove the stone.
• Season the avocado halves with salt and pepper, put them on two plates and spoon a little of the Caesar salad dressing into the cavities left by the stone. Flake, then pile the tuna on top, drizzle generously with the rest of the dressing and scatter with the capers and paprika. Serve with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over and a good handful of tortilla chips.

TUNA AND AVOCADO URAMAKI

Steps:

• Lay a half nori sheet textured-side up (smooth/shiny-side down) on a cutting board with one of the longer sides closest to you. Dip your fingertips in a small bowl of ice water and moisten the sheet just until lightly coated with water.
• Using your fingertips, gently spread 3/4 cup of prepared sushi rice evenly over the entire sheet. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds onto the rice. Flip the nori over, keeping the long side of the sheet closest to you.
• Place 1 1/2 ounces of tuna lengthwise down the nori. Place 2 to 3 slices of avocado next to the tuna (make sure the avocado is snug next to the fish). Moisten your fingers and use your fingertips to gently lift the edge of the nori closest to you and tightly roll it over the top of the tuna and avocado. Tuck the edge of the nori around the tuna and avocado and continue rolling the sushi roll over until the seam is on the bottom of the roll.
• Place the roll on a makisu (sushi rolling mat) wrapped in plastic wrap and use the makisu to lightly press to shape the roll.
• Dip the tip of a knife into the bowl of ice water and allow the water to run down the blade. Slice the roll into 8 even pieces. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, making a total of 4 rolls.
• Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi if desired.
