90 percent of my diet is mainly vegan. On the one hand for ethical reasons, on the other hand, because plant-based dishes are usually satisfying enough for me. These are also significantly more cost-effective. Nevertheless, I sometimes love meat or fish, but it is important to me that these are high-quality. One of my absolute favorites is tartar in various varieties. Today I share with you my recipe for Tuna Tartar with Grilled Watermelon and Cucumber Ginger Broth.
I wonder how I could manage living without this dish so far. The cucumber ginger broth, like the watermelon, adds a special freshness to the tuna tartar.
During my vacation on the island Sylt this summer there was in the Kamp’ner Pesel, by the way very recommendable, a delicious salmon tatar with cucumber broth. The broth with the tartar was a revelation. Not only did it flatter the eye because of the fresh color, it gave the dish a special freshness. Here I was inspired for my recipe for Tuna Tartar with Grilled Watermelon and Cucumber Ginger Broth. I admit I love tuna way more than salmon, although salmon is highly recommended because of its omega-3 fatty acids.
For good fish, you should definitely look for the fish supplier you can really trust. For those among you, same as me, that are not frequent fish-eaters, you can be very sensitive towards the taste of fish. Only really fresh fish does not have this penetrating taste.
