How to Cook Tuna Carpaccio:
- Trim the loin and cut into 15 cm long pieces.

- Now take a tray with baking paper and take the tuna out the freezer one at a time and thinly slice with the meat slicer.
- Layer on the baking paper forming a sheet of tuna. Make sure the baking paper is completely covered with sliced tuna, then put another baking paper on top to cover and put back in the freezer.
- Once frozen again use a sharp knife to portion the tuna. 2 cm wide, 8 cm long. Keep in the freezer with baking paper on both sides until needed.
How to Make the Parmesan Custard:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl over a hot water bath and heat up to 70 degrees Celsius while constantly stirring.
- Once temperature is reached transfer into an upright blender and mix for 5 minutes until a smooth custard builds.
- Set in a squeeze bottle and keep in the fridge until needed.
How to Make Parmesan Crackers:

How to Prepare the Tuna Jelly:
- Cut onion, carrot, celery, garlic and tuna carcass in chunky pieces and roast in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
- Transfer into a big pot and add tomato paste.
- Roast everything on low flame until the tomato paste loses its sourness.
- Now add 500 ml red wine and simmer down until red wine is completely evaporated. Add the remaining red wine and bring to boil again.
- Now add whole peeled tomatoes, bay leafs and fish stock to it. Bring to boil on low flame and simmer for about 2 hours while stirring occasionally.
