Recipe for seared tuna, smoked eggplant and spicy soy sauce

Recipe 516: Seared tuna, smoked eggplant and spicy soy sauce by chef Adriana Seghetta (Maison Maison, Paris)

1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil

Recipe: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Char the eggplant for three minutes on each side over the gas stove. Bake the eggplant for 20 minutes.

Slice the onion into rings, mix with the soy sauce, vinegar, Tabasco and sesame oil.

Remove the eggplant from the oven, peel and roughly chop.

Marinate the pieces in the sauce.

Cook the tuna in a hot, oiled pan for two minutes on each side. The center of the fish should remain raw.

Arrange the fish on the bed of eggplant, then add the mint, basil, a little olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Save on tech and make ends meet with Back Market.
