Ingredients

  • 12 ounces tuna loin, diced
  • 1/2 cup quartered, sliced fresh cucumber
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/4 cup julienned red pepper
  • 1/4 cup julienned yellow pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup sliced white onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • Salt
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 fresh whole coconut, split and meat grated to equal 2 cups

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, carrots, peppers, tomato, onion, and chives.
  • Gently toss with hands.
  • Season with the salt and lime juice.
  • In the piece of cheesecloth, add the grated coconut.
  • Then gather up the ends and over the bowl, wring out the milk from the coconut by twisting the cheesecloth tighter and tighter; retain the coconut juice for another recipe (notably Prawns with Vanillla Coconut Sauce, also shown on this show).
  • Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl again and serve immediately.
