Preparation

Creamy pickled ginger sauce

In a small bowl, combine all cream sauce ingredients. Reserve.

Ponzu sauce

In a small bowl, combine all ponzu sauce ingredients. Reserve.

Tuna tartare

In a bowl, combine all tartar ingredients. Add ponzu sauce at the last minute, and mix gently.
Place the mixture in a presentation bowl and serve on a platter with the creamy pickled ginger sauce, lettuce leaves, pomegranate seeds and toasted sesame seeds.

Note

The tuna mixture tends to release a little liquid once mixed with the ponzu sauce, so I recommend draining it slightly before topping the lettuce leaves.
