JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.
Summer tuna tartare. This is my favorite tuna tartare recipe for summer, when both the tuna and cucumbers are really, really good. It’s pretty simple:
Chop tuna and cucumbers into similarly sized bits. You want about two times more tuna than cucumber. Next make a simple dressing of olive oil, champagne vinegar, dijon, cayenne, a touch of salt, and finely minced garlic. Gently toss everything together, then plate. Finish with large crystals of sea salt and a drizzle of chili oil.
