Adán Cordero, chef at the Santo Mauro restaurant (Madrid), prepared this special recipe with Bluefi Tuna loin during his time in the Chef Balfegó 2023 competition.
Elaboration
Balfegó Bluefin tuna
Remove the skin of the loin and segment the parts.Cut only the lower loin into 4x4cm ingots, temper, season with salt and pepper and spread with olive oil. Sear on a robota/grill/iron. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes and cut into rectangular and triangular pieces.
La Mancha Causa
Wash the potato and microwave, wrapped in a tupperware, for 9 minutes. Peel, pass through a sieve and add the juice and the lime basket. Mash the saffron with salt in a mortar until obtaining a fine powder. Add the Arbequina oil. Mix everything and season with salt. Fill a piping bag with the causa.
Pickled marmitako
Wash and cut the vegetables into brunoise. Sauté the garlic with oil. Add the spring onion along with the salt/kamput pepper.
After 5 – 10 mins add the peppers along with the diced potato and the seeded chili. Let 10 minutes pass and add the tomato concentrate, ñora pulp and sichimi togarashi.
After 5 mins, wet with liquids, except vinegar. Let it cook over low heat until the potato is tender. Crush and strain. Let cool and add the vinegars.
Vegetables stock
Wash, peel and cut all the vegetables. Lightly sauté the onion and leek. Add the rest of the vegetables, moisten with water and cook for 3 and a half hours. Strain and reserve.
Fish stock
Bleed the bones and cuttings with water and ice until they are no longer muddy.
Wash, peel and cut all the vegetables. Bring all the elements to a boil together from cold water. Once it starts to boil, calculate 20 minutes of gentle cooking and 30 minutes of rest. Strain and reserve.
Plating
Sauce 2 and a half tablespoons of marmitako at the bottom of the plate at a cold/warm temperature. Place the cuts of Balfegó bluefin tuna on top, previously brushed with arbequina oil and seasoned with Maldon salt flakes. Create random-sized spheres of causa potato and plate them together with the tuna sticking out above the marmitako.
Add lentil sprouts between the causa and the tuna and a few drops of Picual oil.
