My sister and her son who both really enjoy food will be visiting soon. Since I have easy access to sashimi grade tuna and they don't, I want to come up with something unique, not found in a sushi joint but I'm not into gastriques or foams or the like. I'll probabyl keep it simple but an idea flashed into my mind to do a traditional poke-like marinated cubes of tuna in a pretty typical treatment of soya, ginger, sesame oil, etc but to top it pickled shredded beets (which I had recently - divine!) with a wasabi crumble for a little crunch. My first thought was crushed wasabi peas but I would love to hear an elevated idea if anyone has one. It doesn't have to be a main, could be an appy or just a taste. My sister and I tend to do a lot of grazing when visiting one another because we have so many things we want to try out on each other.
