TUNA CEVICHE
A zesty concoction featuring tuna, tomatillo-chile poblano broth, and mango.
Serves 4.

Tomatillo Poblano Broth
2 fresh poblano chiles
3 fresh tomatillos
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ tablespoon honey
1 pinch salt
1 pinch white pepper

Core and seed the poblano chiles. Cut into chunks. Remove all the papery husks from the tomatillos. Rinse the tomatillos well to remove any stickiness. Cut in half, or quarters if large.

Blend the chiles and tomatillo, working in batches if necessary. Then puree through a medium sieve placed over a large, non-reactive (stainless steel, glass, ceramic) bowl, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula to release the liquid. Discard the solids. Add the lemon and honey, then season with salt and pepper.

Tuna
12 ounces fresh tuna steak
½ cup diced mango
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Remove any skin or small bones from the tuna. Cut into ¼-inch cubes. Add the tuna, mango, and onion to the tomatillo broth.

Garnish
4 corn tortilla chips
4 mango wedges

To serve
Divide the ceviche mixture among eight martini glasses or shallow bowls. If desired, garnish each with a mango wedge and corn tortilla chips.
