Tuna with Red Pepper Piquillo Sauce and Pea Shoot Microgreens

Tuna with Red Pepper Piquillo Sauce

We were lucky enough to get a second recipe with Chef Ruben from Pescado in our recent Chef Series. This tuna with red pepper pequillo sauce is divine and must try!

Ingredients:

• Tuna Sashimi 150g
• Red pepper piquillo sauce 50g
• Leek confit 20g
• Boiled shallots 15g
• Crispy bonito 10g
• Parsley oil 2g
• Black olive powder 2g
• Salt (pinch)
• Olive oil 5ml
• Pea Shoot Microgreens 5g (garnish)
• Red Cabbage Microgreens 5g (garnish)

Cooking method:

Season the tuna with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Allow the tuna to marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the rest of the dish.

Prepare the Red Pepper Piquillo Sauce: Heat the red pepper piquillo sauce, leek confit, and boiled shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce is hot. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

Grill the tuna: Preheat a pan to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the tuna and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on the tuna’s thickness and how you prefer it.

Place the red pepper sauce and shallots on the plate first. Cut the tuna in half and place it on top of the sauce.

Add the leek confit, boiled shallots, and crispy bonito on top of the tuna. Drizzle with parsley oil and sprinkle black olive powder. Garnish with pea shoot and red cabbage microgreens.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
