alt

INGREDIENTS FOR FOUR PEOPLE:

Tuna belly 400gr.

For the tomato and pistachio salad:

Ripe tomato 2 pieces.

Pistachios 40 gr.

Mint 4 leaves.

Virgin olive oil, “picudo” variety.

Others:

Herb sprouts.

Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar (It can replace with Modena or Sherry vinegar).

Maldon salt.

ELABORATION:

Ask your fishmonger a piece of fatty belly tuna, Japanese name "toro", approximately 400 grams. Cut into 4 portions of 100 grams.

For the tomato salad and pistachios:

Peel the tomatoes and cut into 1 cm dice, chop the green pistachios with a knife and chop the fresh mint, as thin as possible.

A couple of hours before its use, season all ingredients together with the virgin olive oil.

Others:

Clean the sprouts with cold water.

Boil the vinegar until it is reduced to 50%.

FINAL STEP & SERVING:

Add salt and pepper to the tuna portions and cook in a non-stick pan on both sides but leaving the center well red.

Place in the center of the dish and add a spoon of reduced vinegar, the tomato and pistachio salad.

Arrange the herb sprouts elegantly on top of the salad.

Finish with a few drops of the remaining olive oil to season the salad, which will have the mint aroma and a few Maldon salt flakes.
