Bluefin tuna tartar with partridge marinade and flame grilled cabbage
Enrique Medina, chef of Apicius restaurant (Valencia) and contestant of Chef Balfegó 2021 presents a recipe with blue fin tuna that not only seeks to satisfy the palate, but to touch the soul.
Elaboration
Preparation of the dish
1. Cut the tuna into small cubes, without leaving any nerves. Next, season with salt, pepper, chives and an emulsified partridge marinade. Set the mixture aside.
2. Remove the cabbage leaves, wash and blanch them in salted water, then cool them in ice water and drain. Then burn in the flame and season them with salt and garlic oil. Set aside and allow to rest.
3. Boil the partridge stock with half the vinegar for 20 minutes. Add the rest of the uncooked vinegar and the oils, and emulsify with the help of some
xanthan gum.
4. Feather, flame and braid the partridges. Then we brown them with oil in a frying pan. Remove them and brown a whole clove of garlic. We cut an onion and ½ fennel bulb into julienne strips. We poach them and return the partridges to the mixture. We add the wines and reduce the alcohol. Add the bay leaves and thyme. Moisten with water and cook for 2.5 hours over low heat. Let it rest and strain the broth. Then we shred the partridges and chop them in small pieces. Stir-fry 1 clove of garlic, 1 onion, and half a fennel bulb. Cut the green cabbage into julienne strips and once poached, we add the partridge meat and a little of the sauce. Add some salt and pepper.
5. We emulsify the sauce with pine nuts, bread and garlic and process well.
Plating the dish
On a large plate, we place the slightly warmed cabbage and a quenelle of partridge. Add some partridge sauce. We arrange another quenelle (a larger one) of marinated blue fin tuna tartar. We finish with the pine nuts, capers, pickled cauliflower and salt flakes.
