Genius jose andres' tuna tartare with coconut lime sesame dressing
Dressings

This is an approximation of one of my fondest food memories-- <br />eating at Jose Andres' beautiful D.C. restaurant, Café Atlantico, <br />while gazing at a magical painting which transported me to the sun- <br /> drenched fields of Spain. In this tartare, raw tuna is mixed with a <br /> dressing of coconut milk, lime juice, sesame oil and <br />slivered scallions. Just before serving, crushed corn nuts are <br />added in for their delightful crunchy texture! Jose was delighted <br /> that I wanted to know all about his creation, and he introduced <br /> me to his chef and the prep station for the dish. As significant <br /> as this was, it resulted in our returning for the tasting meal at <br />the Minibar , a 'most memorable of all' highlight of my culinary <br />life! When I started making this for myself, I tweaked a few elements, and added sesame oil and sesame seeds because I love the toasted element that they bring. I sincerely hope Jose would approve. <br /> <br />
