This is a really cool first course for any dinner party or special date night dinner. You have to find the freshest Ahi tuna.
Ingredients
- 8-ounces sushi-grade Ahi tuna, diced small
- 1 large shallot, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Granny Smith apple, finely diced
- 4-ounces unsalted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 Gala apple, thinly sliced into rounds
Directions
In a mixing bowl, add the tuna, shallot, ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and toss gently. Add the diced Granny smith apples and toss to coat.
In a small saute pan over high heat, melt the butter and cook it until it turns a deep rich brown. As soon as the butter turns brown, stir in the parsley, tarragon, and chives and remove from the heat. Spoon the butter over the tuna mixture and serve immediately with 1 apple slice on the side.

Very nice. Would be a good first course for an autumn dinner party. I added a tiny bit of brown sugar to the butter just as it was finishing which added a slight sweetness.
By the way, just signed up for food network to make this review. Their efforts to collect personal information during signup are insulting and aggrevating and totally uncalled for.

I tried this dish this evening and I have to say it was tasty and refreshing. I like the apples in it, although I think a large Granny Smith is too much apple (I should have left half of it out, as well as serving the tartar on an apple slice. Next time I make it I'll add more herbs and I think then I'll add lemon thyme in it too. My husband really enjoyed it as well. Totally worth making and looks fabulously when serving it. Thanks Tom and good luck....I really hope you win.

This dish was even better than expected! Super easy to make, had a great mix of flavors. It's even fantastic without the brown butter topping...
Great job Tom....cheering for 'ya next week!
