Tuna Tartare Poke with Sesame
Fresh and delicious, this is a great small bite appetizer to serve at a cocktail party. We served the Poke in mini-martini glasses on cake tiers for effect. We garnished the tiers with kaffir lime leaves from our tree and small iron koi-fish that we use as chop stick rests. We placed two glasses adjacent to the tiers, one with mini-cocktail forks and one with chopsticks, so that each guest could choose. Chilling your serving bowls ahead keeps each dish nice and cool as cocktails are passed.
