Please note
To prepare this recipe we use raw fish. In this case, we bought the thawed tuna, therefore already thermally chilled. Those who buy fresh tuna, on the other hand, will have to chill it at home to taste it in total microbiological safety: in such circumstances, the tuna must be left in the freezer at -30 ° C for 12 hours or at -18 ° C for 96 hours. After that, the fish will need to be slowly defrosted in the fridge before being eaten.- Thoroughly wash the lemon and lime. Grate the zest and squeeze the juice.
- Arrange the tuna slices on a plate, pour in the lemon and lime juice. Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil delicate. Flavor with citrus peel, pink peppercorns, thyme and fennel. Salt to taste.
- Cover with a sheet of cling film and leave to macerate for an hour.
- Now remove the tuna from the maceration and compose the dish. On the bottom of the plate, lay some rocket leaves and season with a drop of oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
- Then lay the tuna carpaccio on top of the rocket, seasoning with one or two tablespoons of marinade.
- Toast the sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the tuna carpaccio.
- Garnish with lemon zest and aromatic herbs. Serve immediately.
