Wasabi Ahi Tuna Tartare
Wasabi Ahi Tun If you have ahi tuna, baby greens, wasabi fumi furikake, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the peanut oil you could follow this main course with the Salted Peanut Toffee Cookies as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 10 minutes.
Instructions
Place the tuna in a small bowl.
Pour peanut oil over, sprinkle with the wasabi fumi furikake, and wasabi powder. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
To serve, press half of the mixture into a 1/2 cup container and unmold onto a bed of greens. Repeat for second portion.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Ahi Tuna can be paired with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like ahi tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your ahi tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. One wine you could try is Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
