We love tartare! It’s such a fun, easy appetizer to prepare, and when it’s done right, is packed with beautiful and complex flavours!
We’ve got two different recipes today, both really popular tartares: tuna and beef. Here’s how to make delicious fresh tartare recipes at home:
Tuna Tartare:
Ingredients:
300 grams of sushi grade Tuna, cut into small cubes
1/4 shallots, minced
1/4 mangos, thinly sliced
Wasabi paste
Tamarind Sauce
Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil Oyster Sauce
Chives to garnish
Sesame seeds to garnish
Preparation:
Start by slicing up your tuna into very small cubes. Once it’s sliced, add it into a bowl with wasabi paste, soy sauce, tamarind sauce, sesame oil oyster sauce, and thinly sliced shallots and manges and finish with sesame seeds and chives. Mix until it’s all incorporated.
We served it on these beautiful crescent moon crackers, but you can serve it on crackers, baguette, or on its own!
Beef tartare:
Ingredients:
1 lb top round beef
1/4 shallots, minced
4 cornichons, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
5 tsp worcestershire sauce
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Preparation:
Once you’ve sliced your beef in a fine cubes, add it to a mixing bowl where you add your chopped shallots, cornichons, parsley, worchestire sauce and mustards. Mix together until well incorporated. We scooped these into mini waffle cones for a unique style of serving them – but this recipe also works perfectly alongside fries or baguette.
Bon Appétit!
