Creamy loin “titaina” pie and Balfegó bluefin tuna collar bone with roasted pepper juice and seasoned with katsuobushi

Elaboration

Refried garlic and soy

In a saucepan, toast the thin slices of garlic with as little oil as possible. Once the garlic is golden, add the soy and dashinomoto and let it reduce over low heat to approximately 50% of the initial volume. Reserve in tupperware without straining.

Roasted glazed pepper

Place the pepper as whole and flat as possible on the baking tray lined with parchment paper. The pepper must be clean of any remains of skin and seeds.

Paint the pepper with the soy and garlic sauce with the help of a brush and roast in the oven at 145ºC for 10 minutes, paint the sauce again and repeat the operation until it is caramelized but not burned, usually about 3 times.

Flour mix

Mix the two flours in an airtight container and set aside.

Roasted Pepper Pie Crust

Blend the glazed pepper until you obtain a smooth puree, then gradually add the sifted flours. Mix until you obtain the desired texture and let it rest.
We must bear in mind that the amount of flour it can accept will depend on the humidity of each roll of glazed pepper (the amount of flour in the recipe is indicative). We should also leave the texture point a little below, since when the dough rests it tends to harden.

Place the cake upside down on top of the tuna, and pressing the mold, remove the excess tuna loin with the help of a spatula, then turn the whole so that the cake is perfectly covered with the tuna sheets. Cut the tenderloin of the matured tuna into 0.5cm cubes. Temper the tuna butter in a saucepan and submerge the tile so that it is completely impregnated with this fat, so it will be waterproofed and will remain crispy during the service of the dish. Drain and cool the tile so that the fat blocks around the dough.
• Plating
  Place the tuna cake with the loin that we have previously painted with a little tuna fat with mild olive oil so that it shines in the center of the plate. Adjust the tile right in the center of the mochi so that this tile is attached to the sliced ​​tuna itself and does not rest directly on the plate to give a certain volume to the plating. Place all the rest of the ingredients on this tile in a harmonious way, alternating all the ingredients so that they are distributed over the entire surface of the tile and so each spoonful can have all the ingredients, supporting the spring onion petals and pine nuts in the creamy points. tomato and chipotle.
