Tuna Tartare in Miso Cones
This Wolfgang Puck original (via YumSugar) features fresh tuna marinated in spicy wasabi, ginger, soy sauce and a splash of citrus. The miso cones, while daunting to make at first glance, are assembled like tiny masterpieces in a matter of minutes. Enjoy this recipe as an appetizer or feature it as an entree. And a hint about assembling the cones: I found it easiest to only bake three at a time as they harden very quickly and must be shaped immediately after they’re taken out of the oven.
