For our recipe column we like to ask local Toronto, and sometimes Ontario, chefs to share with us some of their customers favourite dishes. This week, we got Miku Toronto to share their awesome sushi recipe for Aburi Maguro Sashimi. Yum!
Aburi Maguro Sashimi – Sushi Recipe – Serves 1
Aburi means flame seared in Japanese. In the restaurant they use a torch with Japanese charcoal called Bincho- Tan. They have adapted the recipe for the home cook by searing it in a pan. Seared tuna is wrapped around tuna tartare and topped with a masatake sauce – a pickled sweet onion salsa. Enjoy!
