Asian-style tuna ceviche
This is a lovely little dish that uses raw tuna and really fresh Asian-style flavours. It's really quick to pull together so is perfect as a starter, plus a little tuna goes a long way prepared like this so you'll save on your pennies too. Make sure you use the freshest tuna you can get your hands on – ask your fishmonger for sashimi- quality fish.
