Ingredients

  • 1750g tuna
  • 315 g rocket
  • 200 g Bresc Tapenade figs
  • 150 g lemon juice     
  • 100 g olive oil

  • 3 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 10 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.
