Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Tuna (block) 160-200g
- Orange 1/2 (peeled and segmented)
- Lemon 1/2 (peeled and segmented)
- Garlic 1 clove
- Pine Nuts 1 tbsp
- Raisins 1 tbsp
- Capers 1 tbsp
- Italian Parsley (for garnish) to taste
Seasonings
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying (for garlic chips)
- [A] Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for dressing) to taste
- [A] Salt (for dressing) a pinch
- [A] Pepper (for dressing) a pinch
Steps
- Sear the skin side of the Tuna (block) 160-200g using a blowtorch. You can also sear it in a frying pan. (Key Tip!) Sear quickly to avoid overcooking.
- Cut the seared tuna and pat dry with paper towels.
- Thinly slice the Garlic 1 clove using a slicer or knife.
- Remove the garlic's core. (Key Tip!) You can do this after slicing, but it's easier to remove if you cut the clove in half lengthwise first.
- In a pot, add Olive oil for frying (for garlic chips) and the sliced garlic. Fry at a low temperature (120-130°C / 250-265°F).
- Once the garlic is lightly colored, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels. This creates crispy garlic chips.
- Peel the membranes from Orange 1/2 and Lemon 1/2, and carefully remove the segments.
- Squeeze the remaining juice from the orange and add it to a bowl.
- Cut the orange segments into bite-sized pieces diagonally and add them to the bowl.
- Add the lemon segments to the bowl and cut them slightly smaller. (Key Tip!) Cutting them smaller prevents the acidity from being too strong and helps it blend well.
- Add Raisins 1 tbsp, Pine Nuts 1 tbsp, and Capers 1 tbsp to the bowl.
- Mix everything gently and season with Salt (for dressing) a pinch and Pepper (for dressing) a pinch to taste.
- Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for dressing) to taste and mix to complete the dressing.
- Cut the seared tuna into thick slices, similar to traditional seared tuna.
- Arrange the cut tuna on a plate and sprinkle with Salt (to taste) and Pepper (to taste).
- Spoon the prepared dressing over the tuna and garnish with the crispy garlic chips.
- Finish by adding Italian Parsley (for garnish) to taste for color. Done!
