Sashimi Tuna wrapped with Prosciutto

Introducing: Sashimi—Rolled Tuna/Albacore with Prosciutto
☺☺☺☺☺we’re preparing not cooking, lol!

What are we looking for? We’re looking for an appetizer that goes exquisitely with your light beer or white wine—chardonnay, which is perfect for especial evenings and hot summer nights. (Remember “special” is akin to small servings—the theory: small servings, by itself, is enticing and always creates the craving for more….)

Ingredients:
1.      Prosciutto—(@ Target)
2.      Tuna—(@Costco)
3.      Albacore—(@Costco)
4.      Green onion
5.      Wasabi—(@ Asian groceries)
6.      Soy sauce, Kikkoman
7.      (1) Lemon
8.      (2) Limes

First, what is Sashimi? It's thinly sliced, raw seafood--a Japanese cuisine, usually served with soy sauce and Wasabi (horseradish)
Second, what is Tuna? It's a red-meat fish from the deep sea water.
Third, what is an Albacore? It is a white meat tuna.
Fourth, what is Prosciutto? It's an Italian word for ham--usually used for a dry-cured ham that is sliced thin…
Fifth, for the others, I assume you know them, right?


Slice the tuna and albacore thinly (note: slice just enough, maybe 12 slices for a serving of three)
Cut the prosciutto half the width and length of the of the tuna slices

Roll the prosciutto loosely over with the tuna  
Roll the prosciutto loosely over with the albacore
Slice the green onion about an inch in length
Slice the lemon and limes in quarters

Arrange the rolls in the inner part of the platter
Arrange the slices of lemon and limes @ the edge of the platter
Sprinkle the onions over the rolls
Put them aside, cover loosely, and refrigerate
Mix wasabi with soy sauce (Kikoman) in a small plate

Lol…serve and enjoy!
