METHOD
Preparing the vegetables
- Each vegetable must be perfectly cooked without being mushy; therefore cook each vegetable separately using the appropriate cooking method.
- clean and prepare all the vegetables;
- blanch the carrots and asparagus in boiling water; drain when almost cooked; finish cooking by searing them in a skillet for a few seconds with oil, salt and pepper, a few basil leaves and a touch of garlic;
- grill the zucchini and peppers or cook them in a skillet in oil with a little salt and pepper, a few basil leaves and a touch of garlic;
- cook the oyster mushrooms and spinach in a skillet in oil, with a little salt and pepper, a few basil leaves and a touch of garlic;
keep the vegetables warm.
Preparing the salsa
- peel and seed the cucumber; chop into small dice;
- cut the mango or pineapple and peppers into small dice;
- cook the salsa ingredients in a pan with a few drops of oil over very low heat, just until they become translucent;
- drizzle with a little lemon or lime juice; let cool.
Cooking the tuna
- place the cracked black pepper into a shallow dish; oil the tuna steaks and season with coarse salt; press one side of the tuna into the pepper and remove;
- cook in a skillet over high heat for 3 minutes – the fish should be medium rare;
- remove from the pan and keep warm; deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar;
- add the sugar and reduce by half.
Potatoes
- cut the peeled potatoes into matchsticks using a mandolin; dry with a towel;
- in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with some cold water; season with salt and pepper and add some crushed ice;
- dip the potatoes into this mixture; fry the potatoes in hot vegetable oil until golden; divide into four portions.
Presentation
- arrange the vegetables on warmed plates, overlapping them to create some height;
- place the grilled tuna on the plate and garnish with some of the salsa;
- finally, place a stack of matchstick potatoes on the tuna, sticking a branch of rosemary through the potatoes and tuna to keep everything in place and to add to the sense of height.
- Drizzle the reduced balsamic syrup around the plate and serve immediately.
