Tuna Tartare Toast

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 4-6 ounces Chutoro (fatty tuna belly) diced in varying sizes
  • 1 Shallot medium diced
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp White Soy Sauce (see notes)
  • 1 tbsp Yuzu ponzu sauce or more as desired
  • Pinch Black sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 Green onion
  • 1-2 slices Sourdough bread

Instructions

  • In a small pot, add 1/4 cup olive oil and the medium diced shallot. Heat over low for 30-45 minutes until the shallots are very soft. Be sure to keep the heat low to avoid any browning. When finished, remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Reserve 1-2 tbsp of the shallot oil for toasting the bread.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled shallots with the remaining olive oil it was cooked in, along with 1 tbsp white soy sauce and 1 tbsp yuzu ponzu sauce. Whisk until emulsified as a dressing.To the mixing bowl, add 4-6 oz diced tuna belly pieces. Gently toss to combine with the dressing until fully coated.
  • Toast a slice of sourdough bread in a pan using the shallot olive oil until it is golden on both sides. (You may need to add more olive oil, depending on how much your bread absorbs)
  • Slice the sourdough in half, but keep the halves together and place on your serving plate. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the tuna and shallots onto the toasted bread. Garnish with a pinch of black sesame seeds, and thinly sliced green onions.
