Pu Pu Tuna Recipe?

Question

I am looking for a Hawaiin dish for raw tuna. I ate it some years ago and again recently but don't have the recipe. It contains square chunks of tuna and some scallions and other tid bits. If you know of this recipe, that would be greatly appreciated.

It is served cold, and spicy. It also has peppers like serrano or jalapeno in it. I don't recall any coconut flavoring in it. There were julienne herbs in it. It also had some dill. Maybe this was a personal touch to the recipe.

Answer 1

This is probably what you are looking for

Poisson Cru
12 ounces tuna loin, diced
1/2 cup quartered, sliced fresh cucumber
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/4 cup julienned red pepper
1/4 cup julienned yellow pepper
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup sliced white onion
1/4 cup chopped chives
Salt
1/4 cup lime juice
1 fresh whole coconut, split and meat grated to equal 2 cups

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, carrots, peppers, tomato, onion, and chives. Gently toss with hands. Season with the salt and lime juice. In the piece of cheesecloth, add the grated coconut. Then gather up the ends and over the bowl, wring out the milk from the coconut by twisting the cheesecloth tighter and tighter; retain the coconut juice for another recipe (notably Prawns with Vanillla Coconut Sauce, also shown on this show). Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl again and serve immediately.

Answer 2

I have had a raw tuna dish that is called se viche - I think it is Mexican, though. It can have either raw shrimp or raw tuna and is "cooked" with the acidic lime juice added to the recipe. You would eat it with chips or something like salsa. The recipe you mentioned sounds very similar to this, so if you can't find what you are looking for, try this one out.
