Ingredients
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
3 tablespoons of fresh chives
Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1 sashimi-grade tuna steak 170g (6 oz)
½ an orange, juiced
Salt or soy sauce
Pepper
Russian rye bread, 3 slices
Butter
Chili pepper
200g Salmon caviar
Directions
- Place egg yolk into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and mustard to the bowl. Whisk and add 150-200 ml (about 3.5 oz) slowly while mixing. After adding all of the oil continue to mix until a thick sauce texture is created.
- Chop up chives very thinly and fold in gently with a spoon.
- Smash 2 cloves of garlic. Chop into smaller pieces and fold into the sauce mixture.
- Chop up the tuna steak into small cubes. Put into a separate mixing bowl.
- Juice half of an orange and put the juice into the bowl with the tuna. (Using an orange instead of another citrus fruit will preserve the tuna’s pink color.)
- Add the desired amount of salt or soy sauce to the tuna tartar. Add a pinch of black pepper.
- Optional – cut small pieces of a chili pepper, or other pepper and mix it into the tuna.
- Mix the tuna tartar and set it aside to marinate.
- Cut three slices of Boroditsky Russian Rye bread or another bread of your choice. Cut each slice into thirds to get a total of 9 pieces.
- Add a little bit of oil and butter to a frying pan. Fry the bread on both sides until crisp.
- Use a paper towel to get off excess oils from the bread crisps. Set aside.
- Put the mayonnaise sauce mixture into the tuna bowl. Mix together.
- Using a spoon, scoop the tuna onto the bread crisps.
- On top of the tuna add the desired amount of caviar and serve.
