Method
step 1
For the gremolata blitz together in a dry blender until it becomes a consistent green. To make the beetroot, bring the vinegar, sugar and turmeric to the boil with 200ml water and a pinch salt. Pour over thinly sliced golden beetroots.
step 2
Rub the outside of the tuna with oil and roll slowly in a hot pan. Brush the tuna all over in Dijon mustard using a pastry brush and roll in the gremolata crumb. Wrap in clingfilm and chill until needed.
step 3
For the anchovy dressing, blitz in a small blender until smooth.
step 4
When you’re ready to serve, strain the pickling liquor from the beetroot (keep it as it’s a great addition to liven up a vinaigrette). Pinch 6/7 slices of beetroots together and put in the middle of four plates. Take a spoonful of the dressing and put beside the beetroot, drag your spoon on through the dressing and make a semi circle motion.
step 5
Slice the tuna into 1cm thick slices and divide between the plates, fanned beside the dressing. Put the radish slices in between the tuna to serve.
