Instructions
- Step 1: Cut 8 oz sushi-grade tuna into fine 1/4-inch dice and place in a chilled bowl. Add 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp chopped capers, 2 tbsp finely minced red onion, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Gently fold to combine and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
- Step 2: While the tuna marinates, heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Cut 10 wonton wrappers into triangles about 2 inches wide. Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and lightly salt while hot.
- Step 3: To serve, spoon 2 oz of the tuna tartare mixture onto a small plate and top with 1/4 cup diced ripe avocado. Arrange 4-5 crispy wonton chips around the tartare for scooping, garnishing with a sprinkle of parsley.
