Wasabi-Avocado Ahi Tuna Dome
Serves 4
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
1/4 cup naturally brewed rice vinegar
1 tablespoon naturally brewed soy sauce
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 English cucumber, sliced very thinly
1 pound sashimi-grade Ahi tuna, center-cut, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large ripe avocado, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a small bowl, whisk together the wasabi, naturally brewed rice vinegar,
naturally brewed soy sauce and whisk in extra virgin olive oil to emulsify. Chef
for flavor and season. Equally divide vinaigrette into 3 bowls: set one aside,
add cucumber to the second bowl, tossing to coat, add tuna and avocado to the
third bowl, gently tossing to coat, being careful not to break up the avocado.
Season tuna-avocado mixture and check for flavor. Line 4 small bowls with the
cucumber slices and fill with tuna mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to
solidify. Unmold onto four plates, drizzle over remaining vinaigrette and serve.

Wine Notes:
Setsugetsu Sake
A rich and full sake with a nice saline quality. This pairs very
nicely with the Scallop Yakitori and guest Jasper White's Kobe Beef and
Lobster Tail recipe.
2001 J Vintage Brut
A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a touch of Pinot Meunier,
produced 100% from the Russian River Valley. Aromas of citrus, pear and
honeysuckle with a slight nuttiness, creating a nice balance. Pear and
citrus are echoed in flavor, with a spicy hint of gingersnap. Great for
light brunches or elegant dinners, like the Flashed Salmon with Wasabi and
Avocado and the Ahi Tuna Dome.
