Manises Fatima ajoblanco with marinated tuna and EVOO butter

Recipe by Carlos Bravo, chef of Restaurante Montero in Salamanca

Ingredients

For four people:

For the ajoblanco

200 g of toasted Fatima peanuts
80 g of bread crumbs soaked in water
1 clove of garlic
Sherry vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil and salt to taste

For the fish

200 g fresh tuna
1/2 small glass of sugar
1/2 small glass of salt
200 ml extra virgin olive oil
Chives

Processing the day before consumption

Mix the Fatima peanuts with the breadcrumbs, garlic and vinegar, oil and salt. Grind it until a fine cream is created. If desired, a little water can be added.

Marinate the tuna mixing well the sugar and salt and covering the fish with this mixture. Wrap it in aluminum foil and let it marinate for 12 hours (minimum) in the refrigerator.

Fill a mold with the olive oil and put it in the freezer. This way we will form the olive oil butter.

Assembling the dish just before serving

We put a base of ajoblanco de manises Fatima. Clean the tuna from the marinade mixture, cut it into small fillets and put them on top of the ajoblanco base.

With an ice cream spoon we make balls of olive oil butter and place them on top of the tuna.

Decorate with chives, peanuts and virgin olive oil.

Enjoy your meal!
