Dinner Tonight: Basil-Infused Tuna With Soy Vinaigrette Recipe
- 1/2 pound sashimi-quality tuna
- 1/2 bunch basil
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt and pepper
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Quickly blanch the basil in the pot and then plunge into ice cold water. Drain the basil and then dry on paper towels.
- Cut the tuna in half. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap the basil leaves around the tuna.
- Steam the tuna for just 45 seconds. It will turn light grey on the outside and remain nice and red inside.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, mustard seeds, and lime juice. Brush the sauce on the tuna.
