IMG_2338.JPG

First off, I can not take credit for this recipe, but I will take credit for sharing it with you guys. We made this last night and it was AWESOME!!!!!

2 - 3 pounds of raw tuna loin
Fresh basil leaves
Egg roll wraps
1 Tbsp water
1 or 2 Eggs

Sauce
1c mayonnaise
Wasabi paste
1 lime

Cut Raw Tuna into strips in 3 to 4 inches pieces. Should be the diameter of one of your fingers.
Chop or tear basil into small pieces. In a bowl, beat the egg and add one tablespoon of water. Layout 1 wrap at a time in a diamonds shape. Keep the other wraps covered with a slightly damp towel or paper towel. Place the tuna strip in the middle of the wrap along with the basil. Roll the wrap half way then fold the ends in, brush with the egg wash, and finish rolling. (the egg just helps the wrapper stick to itself)

In a deep fryer or in a skillet with oil covering the bottom, fry rolls until golden brown. Do not overcook.

Sauce: In a mixing bowl add mayo, 1/2 tube of wasabi paste (or more to taste), zest of 1/2 a lime, and the juice of 1 fresh lime. mix until well blended. It will be slightly green in color.

Serve on a platter with the dipping sauce. YUM!

Special Thank you to Deer Meat for Dinner for giving us the basics for this recipe.

  1. 1 fresh lime sliced
  2. 1 fresh lemon sliced

  7. salt or sugar for the rim

Fill metal shaker 1/4 full of crushed ice,  add fruit, muddle until fruit is broken up. Add Tequila, Triple sec, and simple syrup. place a slightly smaller glass on top of shaker and shake. 

Take a Whiskey/Low ball glass and salt or sugar the rim, I do this by rubbing lime juice around the rim then turn the glass over and toughing in in a saucer filled with salt or sugar. fill glass 1/4 with crushed ice. pour content into the glasses either through a strainer or not. This mixture should make one or two drinks Enjoy!!!!!

Simple syrup recipe......1 part sugar in the raw and 1 part water ( I do 2 cups of each) boil or microwave until sugar dissolves......WARNING!!!!!! This will be very HOT!!!!!.......let cool...I add ice cubes. Store in refrig.

Pour oil into a skillet on medium heat. Cook each fillet in oil turning after 10 minutes and cook for another 10 minutes.   Check fish to see if it is done.
