Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Katsuo (Skipjack Tuna) 1 whole
  • Blueberries 100g
  • Cucumber 1/2
  • Okra 2 pieces
  • Red Onion 1/4
  • Tomato 1/2
  • Herbs (to taste)
  • Mint (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Lemon Juice (to taste)

Steps

  1. Sprinkle salt (to taste) on 1 whole Katsuo and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. Sear the Katsuo on all sides until browned. [Key Tip!] If the heat is too low, the inside will cook through, so use high heat to quickly sear the surface.
  3. Place the seared Katsuo in a bowl of ice water to cool.
  4. Briefly blanch 2 pieces of Okra and finely chop them. Finely chop 1/4 Red Onion, 1/2 Cucumber, and 1/2 Tomato.
  5. In a bowl, combine the chopped cucumber and blueberries (to taste). Lightly sprinkle with salt (to taste) and mix.
  6. Add lemon juice (to taste) and extra virgin olive oil (to taste), and mix further.
  7. Place blueberries (to taste) in a blender. Add a small amount of extra virgin olive oil (to taste) and blend until smooth, creating a sauce.
  8. Spread the blueberry sauce on a plate.
  9. Slice the cooled Katsuo. The surface should be seared, with the inside remaining raw.
  10. Arrange the sliced Katsuo on the plate with the sauce.
  11. Drizzle the summer vegetable sauce over the Katsuo.
  12. Garnish with herbs (to taste) and mint (to taste).
  13. Optionally, drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil (to taste).
