Oil-Cured Japanese Hamachi đ đ
âOil-curingâ tuna is something the Basque people of northern Spain have been on since before tinned fish had a PR team. The tuna comes out in gorgeous, well-seasoned chunks and the oil adds richness, olive flavor and a nice silky mouthfeel (sounds strange, but itâs nice). Itâs dank on its own, but I was craving some tuna salad so we ball. Give it a go yourself.
1 pound Tuna, 2x3 inch pieces
2 tsp Kosher Salt
Olive Oil, to cover
1. Blanch the tuna in salted water until cooked through.
2. Gently pack into sterilized glass jars. Seal with a tight canning lid.
3. Lower into simmering water for 25-30 minutes. Cut the heat and allow the jar to cool in the water.
4. Remove the jar, ensure itâs sealed, pat dry. Store in a cool, dark spot (like your pantry or a dark cupboard) for at least a few months before cracking it open.
5. Itâll stay preserved if unopened for a year. Once open, refrigerate and munch within a week or so. Use your nose.
