Preparation

STEP 1: PREPARATION OF SWEET POTATO MOUSSELINE

  • Preheat the oven.
  • Wash and wrap the large sweet potato in aluminum foil.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven until they are tender.
  • Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Peel the cooked sweet potatoes and place them in a blender.
  • Add peanut butter, milk, and curry powder to the blender with the sweet potatoes.
  • Blend until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous puree.
  • Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to your taste. Mix again.
  • Reserve the sweet potato puree with peanut butter and curry.

step 3: preparing the rice pilaf

  • Peel the ginger and finely dice it into a brunoise.
  • Peel the garlic and finely chop it.
  • In a bowl, mix the diced ginger, chopped garlic, Sencha Green Tea, Ground Cumin, Espelette Pepper, Fleur de Sel, and Olive Oil.
  • Generously coat the tuna pieces with this mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Vacuum-seal the tuna pieces and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. This will allow the tuna to absorb the delicate flavors of the marinade.
  • After the marinating period, you can cook the tuna according to your preferences, preserving it semi-cooked for an optimal taste experience.

STEP 2: PREPARATION OF CONDIMENTS:

  • Peel the green kiwis, red peppers, and mango.
  • Cut them into a fine brunoise. Peel the red onion, cut it into a fine brunoise, then blanch it very quickly.
  • Cool it immediately. In a bowl, mix the kiwis, peppers, mango, blanched red onion, and previously infused tea.
  • Drain the tea and chop it before adding it to the mixture. Incorporate seasonings according to your taste.
  • Make sure to mix all ingredients well for an even distribution of flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

STEP 4: PLATING :

  • Harmoniously arrange a portion of sweet potato puree with peanut butter and curry in the center of each plate.
  • Place the pieces of exotic semi-cooked Tuna delicately on the puree, ensuring an appealing presentation.
  • Garnish the preparation with the Virgin Sauce, making sure to evenly distribute the brunoise of kiwis, red peppers, mango, and red onion.
  • Add a final touch by lightly sprinkling chopped Sencha Green Tea.
  • Serve immediately and savor this culinary creation that combines exquisite textures and flavors.
