Tuna Crudo with Coriander, Coconut Milk and Jalapeño
Okay, I absolutely love this recipe! It’s tasty, fresh and really easy to make. It’s the kind of dish I like to make when I want to feel like I’m eating in a restaurant without leaving home!
The coriander, coconut milk and jalapeño sauce are full of flavour and transport us to the seaside. I will definitely be serving this crudo recipe the next time I have guests over!
Bon appétit! xx

Preparation
- Blanch the coriander and spinach in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then place in a narrow container with the coconut milk, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, honey, garlic and salt. Use a blender attachment to blend the mixture until it is very smooth. For an even smoother sauce, sieve it, but this is optional.
- Thinly slice the tuna. Pour the coriander-coconut milk sauce onto the bottom of a serving plate, then arrange the tuna slices on top. Garnish with a few slices of jalapeño, lime zest, chilli oil and coriander leaves. Serve immediately!
