DIY- Tuna Carpaccio




How to: Tuna Carpaccio
You will need:
1 pound sushi grade albacore or yellowfin tuna, cut in 1/2 inch dice (I butterfly my filet to make dicing easier)
1/2 small red onion, cut in small dice
3/4 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup jicama, cut in small dices (this is the secret ingredient – it gives just the right amount of crunch providing a lovely array of texture in every bite)
1 ripe medium avocado, cut in small dice
1/4 cup lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce, or to taste
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro to taste
Salt, preferably kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hits the spot every time
xoxo
