Tuna Tartare with Lychees

Here's a cheffy dish that is really elegant but super easy to make! This is the sort of dish you get at posh restaurants that they charge a fortune for. The ingredients for this cost me around $17 (in Sydney, Australia). This serves 4 to 6 as a shared or individual starter.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

200 g/7oz sashimi grade tuna ((or any other sashimi grade fish) (Note 1))

7 lychees (, fresh (Note 2))

1 1/2 tbsp large red chili ((not a spicy one), very finely diced (Note 3))

1/4 cup red onion (, very finely diced)

1 1/2 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves (, finely chopped)

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (, plus extra)

3 tbsp lime juice (, plus extra)

1/2 small avocado (, diced (~ 1/2 cup))

Salt and pepper

Sliced sourdough baguette (, toasted)

Extra coriander/cilantro leaves

Lime wedges

Instructions

Step 1
Freeze tuna for 20 minutes - just to firm. Slice into 3mm / 1/8" strips, then cut those strips into 3mm / 1/8" cubes. Place in a bowl.
Step 2
Peel the lychees, then finely dice the flesh and add into the bowl (Note 4). Scrape the juices that pool on the cutting board into the bowl too - don't waste a drop!
Step 3
Add the chili, onion and coriander, olive oil and lime juice into the bowl. Season with a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper.
Step 4
Use your fingers to toss together gently. Taste and adjust olive oil, lime and salt to taste.
Step 5
Pile on a platter, top with avocado and garnish with coriander/cilantro leaves. Drizzle with more olive oil. Serve immediately (Note 5), with toasted bread and extra lime wedges.
