Tomato and mackerel tartare

(For 4 servings)

• 1 fillet of mackerel
• 1 slice of brioche toast bread
• 1 lime lime juice / zest
• 4 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
• 6 tablespoons of garlic oil
• 1 tablespoon of pepper
• 1 small avocado
• 1 sprig of fine thyme
• 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt
• 50 gr butter
• ½ cup of Affilla Cress
• ½ cup of Kyona Mustard Cress

• Pre-slice the tomatoes, cut them into quarters, remove the seeds and keep the seed / moisture and pulp separate.
• Finely chop the seeds / liquid of the tomato and thyme in a measuring cup with a hand blender and press it through a fine sieve.
• Mix the tomato juice with vinegar, two tablespoons of mild garlic and some pepper and salt with a whisk to form a gazpacho.
• Finely chop the mackerel and mix with two tablespoons of oil, lime juice / zest and some salt and pepper to form a tartare.
• Crush the avocado with half the lime and a little salt and keep it in a piping bag.
• Cut the tomato into small cubes and mix with two tablespoons of gazpacho to make a tomato tartare.
• Grease the slice of bread on both sides with butter, cut it into equal strips and fry it dark brown in a dry frying pan.
• Place a cutter on the plate and push the tomato tartare into it with a cocktail stick. Top with the mackerel tartare, three strips of toast and the avocado cream in between.
• As a tasteful decoration, stick in the sprigs of Kyona Mustard Cress and three sprigs of Affilla Cress for a nice bouncy look.
• Spoon around the gazpacho and the remaining garlic oil.
