Eggplant Sushi with Tuna Tartare
Using a very sharp knife, cut the tuna into small cubes and add the soy sauce. Set aside.
Wash, dry and cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices 1 cm thick.
Spread the eggplant slices out on a non-stick baking pan.
Place under your oven grill for 5 min. on each side.
Remove the grilled eggplant slices, season to taste and brush lightly with olive oil.
Place a spoonful of raw tuna on a slice of grilled eggplant, roll, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve chilled.
Perfect wine pairing

It is the most opulent and fashionable white grape variety around, reflecting today’s style thanks to a perfect, dreamy balance between smoothness, crispness and intense aroma. Perfect Match: Sushi of tuna. A fresh fish prepared in a manner similar to meat, tuna served in sushi is one example of difficult-to-pair foods that Viognier tames easily. Its smoothness enhances the raw fish, and its powerful flavor balances out that of the soy or sesame marinade. A simple, yet sophisticated and very trendy pairing. The perfect accomplice for powerful, contrasting flavors. The proof: with the Crab, Beetroot and Pamplemousse in Aspic, Viognier stands up to the soft bitterness of the grapefruit thanks to its freshness, combining deliciously with the sweetness of the beetroot. Here, of course, the crab plays the role of succulent sidekick.
