Ingredients:
- ask your fish monger for a cut just behind the midloin, otherwise the surface will be too big to slice without a commercial slicer.
- 2-3 lemons
- homemade pesto (quality commercial can be used)
- black pepper corn mill
Directions:
- Trim the tuna loin of any tendon and bloodline and pull the loin as smooth and straight as possible.
- Place the loin in the freezer, for approx half an hour.
- Sharpen your knife.
- Put a few tablespoons of pesto into a mixing bowl and add enough olive oil to give it a runny consistency yet very green.
- Cut the caper berries in half from the stem down.
- Arrange the 4 serving plates on your workbench, near your chopping board.
- Remove the loin from the freezer and with your very sharp knife start slicing across the grain and place the very thin slices on the plates in 1 layer.
- Toss the arugula with a little lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place a few caper berries randomly on each plate, drizzle a pattern of pesto oil onto the fish.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish and season with pepper and a small pinch of salt.
- Place a small handful of lettuce on the centre of each plate and voila, you’re done, so go sit down with your guests and enjoy with a nice medium bodied white. Verdehlo and pinot grigio pair nicely with this dish.
