Ingredients
- 50g TUNA STEAKS, raw
- 40g CIABATTA BREAD, cubed
- 150g ENDIVE (PRESTIGE), separated into spears
- 25g PRESERVED LEMON, minced
- 3g GALANGAL POWDER
- 15ml APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Method
- 01Using a sharp knife, dice the tuna into small, uniform 1/4-inch cubes. Keep the tuna chilled until the final moment.
- 02In a small bowl, toss the tuna with the minced preserved lemon, galangal powder, and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes; the acid will gently 'cure' the surface of the fish, enhancing its texture and brightness.
- 03Toast the ciabatta cubes in a dry pan over medium heat until they are deeply golden and crisp throughout. This provides a necessary textural contrast to the silky tuna.
- 04To plate, arrange the raw endive spears like an open fan. Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into the base of each spear, ensuring each bite gets a hit of the bright, aromatic marinade.
- 05Sprinkle the warm, toasted ciabatta croutons over the top for crunch. Serve immediately while the tuna is cold and the croutons are still warm.
