Best Picnic Recipes: Mini Saku Tuna Sliders Elevate your classic picnic finger food with this healthful, Asian-inspired take. These little burgers are as flavorful as they are portable, making them one of our favorite picnic ideas for foodies. Saku is sushi-grade tuna that's been super-frozen in under an hour to give it a firm texture.
Ingredients (serves 4):
4 five-ounce saku tuna pieces
4 whole grain mini buns
4 beef tomato slices
1 fresh avocado
2 cups daikon radish sprouts
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
Directions:
Blend mayonnaise, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce and wasabi paste in a food processor until smooth. Set aside for assembly. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a sautè pan, add tuna, then sear to rare. Slice tuna into seven thin strips and set aside. Spread wasabi aioli on top bun, and place tuna slices on the bottom bun, then top with avocado, tomato, daikon sprouts. Put your buns together, and enjoy.
