Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Cut the tuna into cubes. Add 3 or 4 unpeeled garlic cloves, lightly crushed, and a bay leaf.
  • Cover the ingredients with water, oil, and vinegar following the proportion below:
  • One part water.
  • Half the weight of oil in relation to that of the fish.
  • Half the weight of vinegar in relation to that of the fish.
  • Let cook on very low heat for 60 minutes, ensuring that the temperature remains constant and that it does not boil at any time.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • When cutting the tuna into cubes, make sure they are of uniform size so they cook evenly and absorb the marinade well.
  • To enhance the flavor of the marinade, lightly heat the garlic in a bit of oil before adding it to the marinade; this will release its natural flavors.
  • If you prepare the marinade in advance, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for at least 24 hours; this way, the tuna will better absorb the flavors of the bay leaf and black pepper.
