Ingredients
- ½ lb fresh sushi-grade tuna
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- coarse flaky sea salt to taste
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tablespoon Castelvetrano olives pitted and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon pistachios shelled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil finely minced
Notes
- The quality of your ingredients really matters. Use the freshest, best quality tuna and extra virgin olive oil for the best tasting carpaccio.
- Keep your tuna cold at all times to maintain freshness.
- Placing the tuna in the freezer for 30-60 minutes before slicing will make the flesh firmer and easier to cut.
- For a restaurant worthy presentation, chill your plates in the refrigerator or freezer beforehand.
- To make in advance, arrange the slices on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 hours in advance. When ready, dress and serve.
- Do not add the lemon juice or sea salt until right before serving so that it doesn't begin to cook or cure the tuna.
