A tuna tartare recipe is a must for a Christmas dinner in my opinion. We alternate meat with vegetarian and fish! A wonderfully varied menu where every course is a surprise. Because this is a fairly well-known dish, it took some time to think about a surprising element. But I think it worked out well. We added celeriac that we cooked in lemongrass. An extra oriental touch to the dish. I ordered the tuna from my fishmonger and it is not the cheapest piece of fish, but very tasty. tuna tartare amuse Tuna tartare

In this delicious tuna tartare recipe we cook celeriac with lemongrass, also known as “sereh”. The lemony aroma of the lemongrass gives a surprisingly fresh taste to the dish. Moreover, it is not only a seasoning, but can also serve as a decorative element to beautifully decorate your dish.

With this aromatic yet decorative addition, you can give your tuna tartare an extra special, tasteful twist that will stimulate the senses.

  • 1 shallot - very finely chopped
  • 6 stalks chives
  • 2 el black sesame seed

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

  • Clean the celeriac and cut half of the tuber into small cubes of 3x3mm.
  • Put a pan with water on and cut 1 lemongrass stalk into small cubes. Add this to the boiling water and add the celeriac cubes. Boil them for about 6 minutes until they are soft. Drain in a colander.
  • Cut 4 slices lengthwise from the tuna so that you can hang them over the lemongrass stalk.
  • Cut the rest of the tuna into small cubes.
  • Peel the cucumber and remove the seeds in the middle. You also cut this into small cubes. Chop the shallot very finely, and cut the chives into small pieces with scissors.
  • Mix the diced tuna, cucumber, celeriac, chives in a bowl and season with some freshly ground pepper and the black sesame seeds.
  • Pour the soy sauce into the glasses and top with the tuna mix.
  • Serve with a lemongrass stalk on each glass and a slice of tuna on top.
  • Delicious bites!
For example, you can make a soup with the leftover celeriac.
The other half of the cucumber can be used for lunch.
