Tuna Spoons
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3/4 pound sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into
- 1/8-inch dice
- 1 ripe medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into small dice
- In a ceramic or glass bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon and lime juices, wasabi paste, and sesame oil.
- Gently stir in the tuna and avocado, being sure to coat them evenly with the soy-citrus mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 6 hours.
- Use a tablespoon to measure out portions, placing 1 tablespoon of the mixture in each of 16 ceramic spoons.
- Serve immediately.
- The dish can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Make the individual portions just before serving.
- To serve this appetizer, its easiest to use Japanese-style ceramic soup spoons, but any spoon with a flat bottom and a generous rim will do.
- Ive also used small, shallow pitchers.
- Feel free to experiment with just about any small container that allows guests to easily tip the mixture into their mouths.
- Wasabi paste, also known as Japanese horseradish, is available at most large supermarkets or Asian specialty markets.
- Its got a spicy kick that can clear your sinuses, so a little goes a long way.
