A slightly different tuna tartare

A tartare is a very popular starter. Tuna tartare is often lightly marinated and then served on a bed of avocado. We’ve got the avocado base, we’ve got the light marinade too, but what we’ve also got is our special sauce and our gorgeous, thematically matching coral-coloured Hüppen. You can make Hüppen in all sorts of shapes and colours and flavour them with vegetable powders or spices. In our video, we’ll show you how to make this delicious tartare – which, thanks to the sauce and the ‘Hüppen’, has a bit of a special twist. Have fun making it and enjoy!

How to make tuna tartare

First, chop the sushi ginger as finely as possible. Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soya sauce, honey, mirin, wasabi paste, sesame oil and sushi ginger.

Now cut the tuna into small cubes, place it in a bowl and marinate it with a little sesame oil (about ½ teaspoon), lime juice and a few black sesame seeds. Chill the bowl.

Now halve the avocado, remove the stone and cut it into small cubes. Season the avocado pieces with a little salt and pepper and mix them with the juice of half a lime. Now place 2 tbsp of the avocado pieces into a dessert ring and press them down gently. Then spoon 2 tablespoons of the tuna onto the layer of avocado and press this down gently too. Place the layered tartare, still in the dessert ring, in the fridge.

Production of the Coral Hüppenflocken

Preheat the oven to 150 °C (fan). Whisk the egg white briefly, then stir in the butter. Next, add the flour and stir it in briefly as well. This will make the mixture thick and spreadable.

Now carefully spread the mixture onto the coral-shaped silicone mould using a spatula and scrape any excess mixture clean off the mould. This is best done with an angled spatula. Bake the Hüppenflocken for 5–7 minutes.

If you want them to be slightly browner and more rounded, you can carefully remove the Hüppenflocken from the silicone mould after baking, place them on a baguette tray and return them to the oven for a further 1–2 minutes.

For more variety in your Hüppenflocken, you can also make them sweet or colour them with food colouring. For a sweet version, simply add 25 g of sugar to the mixture. You can whisk this in together with the egg white.
