Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Carpaccio:
    • 8 oz (225g) fresh sushi-grade tuna loin
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
    • Handful of arugula or microgreens, for garnish
    • Shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • For Serving:
    • Crusty bread or crackers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna:
    1. Place the tuna loin in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to slice thinly.
  2. Slice the Tuna:
    1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the tuna as thinly as possible.
    2. Arrange the slices evenly on chilled plates or a serving platter.
  3. Make the Dressing:
    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice until emulsified.
  4. Season the Tuna:
    1. Drizzle the lemon-olive oil dressing over the tuna slices.
    2. Lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Add Garnishes:
    1. Sprinkle capers and chopped parsley over the top.
    2. Add a handful of arugula or microgreens for a fresh crunch.
    3. Optionally, garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  6. Serve Immediately:
    1. Serve the tuna carpaccio right away with crusty bread or crackers on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Quality is Key: Use the freshest sushi-grade tuna available for the best taste and safety.
  • Chill Everything: Keeping your utensils and plates chilled helps maintain the freshness of the tuna.
  • Customize: Feel free to add thinly sliced radishes, a drizzle of truffle oil, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a personal touch.
