How to prepare Tuna carpaccio with passion fruit sauce
To prepare the tuna carpaccio with passion fruit sauce, start with the marinade. Cut a lime in half and squeeze it 1. Peel the ginger 2 and grate the pulp into the bowl of a mixer, then add the lime juice 3.
Cut the passion fruit in half 4 and squeeze it into the bowl 5. Add the Tabasco sauce 6,
salt, pepper, and oil 7, brown sugar 8, and turn on the mixer to get the mixture 9.
Pour the cream into a container with a sieve inside and strain it using a spoon 10. Set the sauce aside for marinating and move on to the tuna: ensure it has been previously frozen. Thinly slice the tuna 11 and place it in a container 12.
Sprinkle the slices with the sauce, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate while you handle the rest 13. Cut the bread first in two parts 14, then in half again diagonally to get 4 triangles 15.
Place the bread slices in a baking dish 16 and bake in a fan oven at 392°F for about ten minutes, ensuring the triangles turn golden without burning 17. Finally, clean the avocado. Cut it lengthwise around the central seed. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate, then remove the seed 18.
Remove the peel by running a spoon between the peel and the flesh or using your fingers 19, then thinly slice 20. Get the tuna again 21
and arrange the slices on the plate using tongs or a fork, trying to add some movement to the slices 22. Add the avocado slices, twisting them slightly to create a curl 23, and garnish with the toasted bread slices and the sauce in a small glass, optionally garnished with passion fruit and dill. Your carpaccio with passion fruit sauce is ready: enjoy your meal 24.
