This crudo was born from a simple craving: I wanted to eat raw tuna. And since I am literally in love with my orange sauce, the one I’ve been making for years, I figured it would work just as well on fish as on meat. The only thing I changed was adding tamari soy sauce to bring in a little saltiness that was missing with the fish. The result, honestly, was completely mind-blowing. The orange juice, honey and ginger wrap around the tuna, and the tamari pulls everything toward salty without ever overpowering the flesh.<\/p>\n
This is what sets it apart from everything else: nothing is cooked. Not a second in a pan, not a second on the barbecue. The tuna is thinly sliced and served as is, which means every bite tastes exactly like what it is. The secret is to work with tuna that’s still semi-frozen. I always buy my tuna steaks frozen, that’s what gives the best results, and I let them thaw just enough to slice them cleanly. Flesh that’s too soft gets crushed under the blade and you lose all the beauty of the plate.<\/p>\n
When you set this plate on the table, the room goes quiet. It’s beautiful, it’s fresh, and nobody suspects it took you fifteen minutes of work. I serve it as a starter when I have guests, or as a light meal for two on hot evenings when I have no desire to turn anything on. A glass of well-chilled white alongside, and you’ve got a restaurant dinner without ever touching a pan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
