Ingredients (for approximately 25 appetizers):
  • 40 g tuna loin
  • 1 untreated lemon
  • 5 g sugar
  • Olive oil, salt, pepper to taste
  • 40 g watermelon
Preparation:
  1. Chill the tuna in the freezer until firm, then cut into 2 x 2 x 0.5 cm rectangles.
  2. Blanch the lemon peel three times, then blend with sugar and a splash of lemon juice to form a smooth paste.
  3. Cut watermelon into 1 x 1 x 1 cm cubes and marinate with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. On a plate, arrange a tuna rectangle, season lightly with lemon juice, and top with a watermelon cube and lemon paste.
  5. Garnish to your taste.

This refined appetizer pairs perfectly with salmon gravlax sauce.
