Tuna tartare with guacamole
Item 1 of 1
This vibrant tuna tartare recipe from chef Daniele Usai is served atop a creamy homemade guacamole – just make sure the avocados are extra ripe for a silky smooth finish. This dish is very quick and simple to make, but using ring moulds for plating gives it a beautifully refined appearance.
