I am always looking for new appetizers for a cocktail party, and this one looks simple, easy to eat and crowd-pleasing. I haven't tried these yet, but I am looking forward to my next party so I can try them. Update: I made these for a tailgating party and they were a huge hit. So simple, easy and delicious! Great presentation too. I was also able to purchase pickled ginger from the sushi bar at my Whole Foods. This will now be a go to recipe for me. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons wasabi powder (horseradish powder) |
1 1/2 tablespoons water |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 lb fresh tuna steak, cut into 3/4-inch cubes |
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce |
28 large slice pickled ginger |
28 wooden skewers (8 inch) |
1 bunch watercress |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Mix 2 tablespoons wasabi powder and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in small bowl to blend. Whisk in 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Cover wasabi mayonnaise and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.).
2. Combine tuna and soy sauce in medium bowl; toss to coat. Marinate tuna 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, thread 1 ginger slice onto each skewer 2 inches from tip.
4. Line platter with watercress. Place bowl of wasabi mayonnaise on platter.
5. Drain tuna; pat dry. Return to medium bowl. Sprinkle with pepper; toss to coat. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna and sear until browned on all sides but still pink inside, about 2 minutes total.
6. Thread 1 tuna cube onto each prepared skewer next to ginger. Arrange skewers on platter and serve.
