Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the dashi to a boil, then add the salt, soy sauce, and sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle on the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the yuzu juice, then pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate until set. Slice the tuna into strips, and then cut them into 1/2" cubes.
Add it to a bowl along with the olive oil, chives, sesame seeds and soy sauce. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until your gelée is set. When your ready to serve, cut the avocado into cubes and sprinkle with the lemon juice and a little salt. Toss to distribute evenly. To construct your tartare, oil a ring mold and place it in the center of a plate.
Add a layer of tuna and gently pack it down.
Add a thin layer of avocado, gently packing, and then top by scooping the gelée on top like a sauce. Give the mold a few twists to make sure it's not sticking and then lift it straight up.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. One wine you could try is La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 99 dollars.
