I started by chopping up some cucumber, red onion, garlic, nicoise olives, parsley and oregano then added some lemon zest, salt and pepper.
I diced up about a quarter pound of ahi tuna and mixed it with the other ingredients. I added a little bit of olive oil, some lemon juice, salt and pepper. Nice looking piece of tuna huh?
I made a little salad as a side with watercress, parsley, nicoise olives and grape tomatoes. It was dressed really simply with lemon juice, olive oil, s&p.
The final product looked really pretty! I formed it using a small Tupperware container. I toasted up some pita to make pita chips for dipping.
Fancy, right? I missed the little bit of sweetness you get with Asian inspired tartare like the one I had at River Grille - this was more Mediterranean. But I've still got half of a piece of tuna left to play with - maybe I'll try a different tartare tomorrow!

that is a fine lookin' hunky tuna! unfortunately, fresh sushi grade tuna is SOOO expensive here. Though, that's kinda dumb - I live in a state that's surrounded 3 sides by water!
This tuna was only $11 a pound! This piece (enough for two) was only about $5. I can't rave about Reading Terminal enough - their seafood stands are awesome. I got some cleaned calamari tubes too - I'm thinking of making your salt and pepper squid tomorrow!
