Today we're suggesting you an elegant but simple and
quick recipe thanks to the quality of our
red tuna which doesn't need much cooking or processing to show its incredible taste and freshness. For this recipe we are using the so called
ventresca which is
red tuna belly that is to say the finest and fattest part of red tuna. So here you are Black and white sesame crusted red Sicilian tuna with soaked black chickpeas hummus and coffee mayonnaise.
Ingredients: 100 g of
red tuna ventresca; hummus; mayonnaise and coffee powder
For the hummus: 50 g of sesame seeds, 300 g of pre-cooked chickpeas; 75g (cl) of hot water; the juice of a lemon; sesame oil; 1 spoon of paprika; 1 garlic clove; parsley; salt and pepper. (normally hummus should be made in a "Suribachi" but a mixer will be ok too)
Peel the garlic eliminating the core and chopping it up and chop up parsley too. Toast the sesame seeds in a pan for 2-3 minutes. Put the seeds in a mixer adding flush sesame oil, salt, water; then unite the cooked chickpeas and continue to amalgamate them adding the rest of the ingredients until the result will be uniform.
For the mayonnaise: 2 eggs; seeds oil; juice of half lemon.
Put the eggs in a mixer and add gradually slush seeds oil until the sauce reaches the right consistency. When the sauce consistency will be fine add the lemon juice and in the end only a little coffee powder (not too much as coffee has a very strong taste).
Put the ventresca on a baking tray in an hot oven at 180 degree with some olive oil putting some sesame seed on the tips of the tuna and cooked for nearly 4 minutes (but you have to control it in order not to make it too cook).
Put the hummus first in a soup plate, garnish with coffee mayonnaise and put the red tuna on the top.
