Ingredients

1 1/4 Pounds ahi tuna loin fresh, medium dice
3/4 cup cucumber diced, seeded, peeled
1/2 cup tomatoes italian roma style, seeded and diced
1/2 cup red onion sweet, finely chopped
1/3 cup lime juice fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sesame oil (or to taste)
1 x salt and black pepper freshly ground
1/4 cup cilantro leaves fresh, coarsely chopped
1 x wonton wrappers
garnish
1 x scallions, spring or green onions thinly sliced
1 x sesame seeds toasted
1 x caviar tobiko, if desired

Directions

In a non-reactive bowl, combine the Ahi, cucumber, tomato, onion, lime juice, oils and salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and refrigerate and allow to marinate 30 minutes.

Remove 20 minutes before serving and stir in cilantro.

Serve on baked wontons garnished with green onions, sesame seeds and Tobiko, if desired.

This is based on an appetizer mixture served universally throughout Hawaii.

Add/substitute whatever other fresh, seasonal crunchy vegetable you can find such as jicama, fresh water chestnuts, parsnips, etc.

BAKED WONTONS: This is more a technique than a hard and fast recipe.

Beat 4 egg whites with a tablespoon of water until frothy.

With a pastry brush, lightly paint wonton skins with the mixture and arrange in a single layer on non-stick or parchment lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 5-8 minutes or until wontons are lightly browned and crisp.

You can sprinkle the brushed but unbaked wontons with sesame seed, Kosher salt, poppy seed or whatever to add interest.

Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.

Celery Soup

This was an easy recipe, the most grueling job being the stripping of the celery (I just used my peeler). I threw in all the celery leaves which I found to be decent. I also added a little bacon before I liquidised, to satiate my boyfriend. It resembles a pea soup in taste because of that, but even without it had a nice strong, fresh flavour. A very nice recipe to cozy up with in the winter!
