Seared tuna in a cucumber sling

Serves: 12

Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

200g loin of tuna, at room temperature
100ml sesame oil
80ml (¹/³ cup) black sesame seeds
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
50ml pickled ginger
50ml balsamic reduction
alfalfa sprouts, to garnish

Instructions

Rub the tuna with the sesame oil and cover it with the sesame seeds.

Heat a frying pan and sear the tuna for 1 minute on each side. Let it cool, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.

Place the cucumber slices into individual bowls. Place a piece of ginger on the cucumber and top with a piece of tuna. Using a cocktail stick, secure the sides of the cucumber around the tuna.

Drizzle with the balsamic reduction, garnish with the sprouts and serve.
