Seared tuna with marinated fennel

Ingredients

4
  • 700 g tuna
  • 125 g rocket
  • 80 g Bresc Tapenade figs
  • 60 g lemon juice     
  • 40 g olive oil
  • 30 g Bresc Parrillada aio e lemone
  • 20 g fennel seed
  • 10 g Bresc Lemongrass puree
  • 1 fennel bulb                                                                              
  • salt and pepper  

Preparation method

Grate the fennel on the mandoline, then marinate it in the Aio e lemone. Preferably marinate it under pressure (vacuum-sealed). Cut the tuna in 4 good steaks. Season with salt, pepper and fennel seed. Mix the lemon juice and olive oil to make a dressing and season with the lemongrass puree, salt and pepper. Sear the tuna in the oil so that the outside is brown but the fish remains a lovely red inside. Arrange the fennel salad on a plate and place the tuna on top. Lastly, add the rocket with the lemon dressing. Place a quenelle of fig tapenade on top and drizzle a few drops of the lemon dressing over it.
