Raw tuna tartare with olive oil, capers, and citrus is a refined mediterranean starter. This high protein dish is a fresh, healthy family appetizer ideal for a keto or calorie deficit approach.
Pat fresh tuna steak dry, then finely dice it using a sharp knife for uniform texture.
Mix diced tuna with chopped capers, minced shallot, and lemon zest in a chilled bowl to preserve freshness.
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper over the tuna mixture; gently fold to combine—all seasoning evenly coats the fish.
Cover the bowl and chill for at least 10 minutes to meld flavors and maintain ideal serving temperature.
Serve the Tartare di Tonno immediately on chilled plates, optionally garnished with additional lemon zest and a light drizzle of olive oil for added aroma.
