Step 1
Bake rounds of puff pastry (10 cm / 4" in diameter) between two baking sheets in a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven for about 15 minutes. Chop the green olives and almonds finely to make a smooth purée (you can use a blender to do this.) place a round of puff pastry on each serving plate; place a spoonful of olive purée on top. |
Step 2
Slice the tuna into fillets of approximately 120 g (4 oz.) for each person; cook them in a skillet, being careful not to overcook - they should remain fairly rare in the centre; season with salt and pepper; arrange 4 slices of tuna against the purée in a square; top with a final slice of tuna. |

Step 3 - Muscat Vinaigrette
In a small saucepan, reduce the muscat by half; add the veal jus and reduce until glossy and thickened enough to coat a spoon; drizzle the vinaigrette over the tuna and around the perimeter. |
Step 4
decorate with some small drops of sesame oil. Garnish with a chopped raw oyster, some minced ginger and a few arugula leaves. |
