Tuna Tartare and Avocado






Last week I went over to my mom's house and my brother had just whipped up this amazing little appetizer. It was freakin' delicious!

Spicy mayo:
· Mayo
· Siracha
· Sugar
· Ponzu
· Rice vinegar
· Sesame oil

Tuna:
· Soy sauce
· Rice wine vinegar
· Lemon juice
· Wasabi paste
· Grated ginger
· Chives or scallions
· Sesame seeds
· Shallots, diced
· Cucumber, diced
· Serrano pepper, diced

Mix everything all ingredients for the mayo together and all the ingredients for the tuna together, you can serve them in separate serving bowls or you can make a stack like above. To do so just take a plastic cup, cut out the bottom and and use it as a mold for the stack, stuff in the avocado, put some cucumber and then the tuna. Garnish with chives, black sesame seeds, and toasted pita chips.

I am obsessed with spicy food, I like anything and everything extra extra extra super spicy to the point where my face turns red and I start sweating bullets...So last night I was home alone and craving something hot, and I came up with this yummy little concoction that took about 2 minutes to make:


Toast
1 avocado sliced
tuna
jalapeño finely diced
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper
olive oil
mayo


mix mayo, tuna, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and jalapeño. spread it on the toasted bread, top it with avocado and drizzle the olive oil over it. So simple but so freaking good!
