Swordfish tartare with lemongrass, ginger and lime
Ingredients
300 gr. swordfish
1 lime
zest of half a lime
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
a few leaves of coriander
4 tablespoons of infusion
salt
For infusion:
300 gr. of water
1 stick of lemongrass
15 gr. ginger (ginger)
2 teaspoons of sugar
Introduction
A, refreshing and vibrant tartare. With Asian and citrus notes. The scent of lemongrass, the tone slightly spicy of the ginger, citrus lime and a brunoise of courgette to give a crunchy texture.
For the dressing prepare an infusion bringing the water to boil together with lemongrass cut into pieces (a few cm.) With a little sugar for approximately 10 minutes. Blanch the brunoise of courgette for 20 seconds in the infusion, pick it with a kitchen spider and cool it in a bowl with ice and water to stop the cooking (al dente / crunchy). Turn off the infusion and add the ginger into small pieces.Important to add the ginger off the heat for 10 min. otherwise if you let it boil it brings out a kind of jelly.
Buy the swordfish fresh from your monger. Chop finely with a knife. Season with salt, lime juice, 4 tablespoons of the infusion, 2 Tbsp of e.v. olive oil and the courgette. Finish the dish with grated lime zest, a drizzle of olive oil and some coriander leaf.

deve essere squisito!!
spero di trovare il lemongrass, il coriandolo me sono piantato perche’ in Italia non si trova facilmente, tutto il resto si. grazie!
Per il lemongrass, bisogna andare in supermercati cinesi. Lo vendono congelato. Grazie a te!
