Fabios Lazy Tuna Recipes

COUNTRY FRIED TUNA

Steps:

• For the Pickled Ginger Tartar Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small serving bowl and set aside.
• For the Wasabi Guacamole: Add all the ingredients to a small serving bowl and mash together until smooth. Set aside.
• For the Tempura Batter/Tuna: Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl, but do not over mix. Keep well chilled in the refrigerator or over an ice bath until ready to use.
• In a deep-fryer or stockpot, heat the oil to 350 to 375 degrees F. Cut the tuna into 2 portions. Dip each piece into the tempura batter, coating all of the sides. Lower into the deep-fryer and cook until the batter is crisp, but not overly browned, approximately 1 minute. Remove from the fryer to a cutting board and cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices. Transfer the tuna to a serving platter and serve with the Pickled Ginger Tartar Sauce and the Wasabi Guacamole.

ROB'S POINT LOMA PONZU TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, sweat garlic and shallots in olive oil until shallots are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with orange juice and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Transfer mixture to blender. Add miso, wasabi and mirin. Blend until smooth.
• Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear tuna on grill, about 1 to 2 minutes per side for rare. Slice tuna and plate immediately on bed of white sticky rice and finely sliced radicchio and romaine. Drizzle with ponzu sauce.

FIRE & ICE TUNA

Steps:

• Stir together the bell peppers, jalapeños and onions in a small bowl. In separate bowl, gently mix the tuna, 1 teaspoon of the Parsley Oil, 1 teaspoon of the sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon of the sriracha until the tuna is evenly coated.
• Divide the tuna into 4 portions. Place each portion on a separate plate in 3 or 4 mounds. In between the mounds, place a teaspoon of the pepper mixture. Place some Shaved Lime Ice in the middle of the tuna mounds and pepper mixture. Drizzle the plate with parsley oil and the remaining tablespoon sriracha. Scatter the micro cilantro, dried corn and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame seeds over all the plates.
• Combine the lime juice, sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups hot tap water in a bowl and stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Transfer to a shallow pan and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Shave with a spoon.
• Combine the oil and blanched parsley in a blender or food processor and pulse until incorporated, but not emulsified. Transfer to container or squeeze bottle.

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush both sides of each tuna steak with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side for rare. Saute onions and garlic in 2 tablespoon olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley and capers and simmer until tomato juice evaporates. Season to taste. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks.

GUINNESS SOAKED TUNA

Steps:

• To make the dressing, combine the sherry vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, lemon juice, and sesame seeds into a jar, shake well, and place aside.
• To make the Guinness soaked tuna, first combine the sugar, salt, and Guinness to make a brine. Stir well, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the tuna and brine for 12 hours in the refrigerator. Remove tuna, wash under cold water, and dry with a clean towel. Slice 4-inch long and 1/4-inch thick ribbons off the tuna and wrap 1 around each of the scallops and oysters. Gently sear the oysters and scallops in a very hot fry pan, until the tuna cooks on the outside and the scallops and oysters just lose their translucence. Then remove from heat.
• Place 3 scallops on a plate. Toss the oysters with salad greens and 2 teaspoons of the dressing, and place in between the scallops. Drizzle extra dressing around the plate and serve.
