Preparation

How to prepare Marinated Tuna Tartare with Mango and Arugula

To prepare the marinated tuna tartare with mango and arugula, first cut the tuna into strips 1 and then into cubes 2. Finely chop the chili 3.

Peel the mango 4 and divide it in half: cut one half into strips 5 and then into cubes 6.

In a bowl, place the tuna, add the chili 7, the mango 8, and the lime zest 9.

Adjust with salt and pepper 10, then drizzle with a bit of oil 11. Mix 12 and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the mango sauce: in a blender, add the juice of 2 limes 13, the other half of the mango, roughly chopped 14, and a drizzle of oil 15.

Add the siracha sauce 16, adjust salt 17, and pour in the water 18.

Blend 19 until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous sauce 20. If it is too dense, you can add more water. Dress the arugula with lime juice 21.

Add a drizzle of oil 22 and a pinch of salt 23. Place a 4-inch diameter ring on the plate and fill it with the tartare 24, then gently press with the back of a spoon.

Garnish the surface with arugula leaves, then pour the mango sauce around the tartare 25. Complete with chili slices 26. Your marinated tuna tartare with mango and arugula is ready to be served 27!

Storage

The marinated tuna tartare with mango and arugula should be consumed within 24 hours of preparation to ensure maximum freshness and food safety.

Tip

Cut the tuna into uniform cubes to ensure an elegant presentation and homogeneous texture in every bite.

Do not marinate the tuna for too long: a short marinade, about 10-15 minutes, is sufficient to flavor the fish without altering its texture.

For Safe Consumption of Raw, Marinated, or Lightly Cooked Fish

Before consuming raw, marinated, or not fully cooked fish, it is recommended to freeze it for at least 96 hours at -0.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) in a domestic freezer marked with 3 or more stars, as per the Ministry of Health guidelines.
