Cooking with cannabis is a trend that goes back decades, but now top chefs are embracing its benefits too.
Juicy Fields shares a recipe for a Yellowfin tuna steak in hemp seed crust on avocado edamame salad.
Cooking with cannabis is something that is getting more and more popular, we have seen it going back decades with the classic infused brownies. But more chefs are experimenting with the new trend, and cannabis has now found its way into more high-end cuisine.
Today we are making a Yellowfin tuna steak in hemp seed crust on avocado edamame salad.
This dish is a particularly high-quality food in more ways than one and is full of protein.
Tuna itself is already high in protein and comparatively low in fat, but we increase this by preparing a crust of tasty and nutritious hulled hemp seeds.
Hemp seeds are not only a high-quality source of protein, they also score high in vitamins B1, B2 and E, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, as well as the healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
The tuna in hemp seed crust is thus a real protein bomb, which in this case we served with an Asian avocado and edamame salad.
Edamame are the immature beans of the soy plant and have recently received increased attention as a superfood, and not without reason, these miracle beans also contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins C, E and B-6.
Edamame are gluten-free, cholesterol-free and have a very low-calorie content. Not only are they a true source of protein, but they are also high in iron and calcium.
Avocado is a fruit belonging to the berry family of the laurel family and is considered a superfood in Europe. It is a source of unsaturated fatty acids that help regulate cholesterol and prevent heart disease. It is rich in minerals, vitamins, folic acid and iron.
For two servings
- 2x Yellowfin tuna steaks (approx. 2x 140g)
- 1 egg white
- 20 ml soy sauce
- Approx. 30 g hemp seeds hulled
- Some sesame oil for frying
The egg white is mixed with the soy sauce and the fillet steak is brushed with it on one side. Now the coated side is dipped into the peeled hemp seeds, and the other side is dipped in the same way.
To fry the fish, fry it over medium heat in a preheated pan with sesame oil on both sides for about 90-120 seconds until golden brown. The center of the fish should remain raw, this can usually be observed well during frying. To get a clean edge, the edge is cut off about 0.5cm wide with a sharp knife before serving.
On the plate the Yellowfin is seasoned with some Gomasio seasoning salt.
Gomasio salt is a Japanese seasoning salt made from toasted sesame seeds and salt, – these are finely ground together in a mortar at a mixing ratio of about 1:1.
Avocado-Edamame Salad
- 2 carrots in fine julienne strips
- 1 avocado
- 120 g edamame
- 1 lime – the juice of it
- ¼ lemon – the juice of it
- 2-4 g freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp hemp seed oil
- 20ml sesame oil
- 60ml sunflower oil
- 7g Thai basil
- 7g fresh coriander
- black pepper -fresh ground
- salt
Mix the carrot julienne with the lemon juice, lime juice, ginger and honey, add the avocado cut into cubes.
The edamame are blanched in boiling salted water for about 30 seconds and then rinsed in ice cold water. Any pods that separate from the beans are discarded.
The cooled beans are now mixed with the salad along with the oil.
Finely chop the leaves of the Thai basil and the coriander and mix with the salad and season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy the meal!
