Accompaniment
SponsoredLes Moniers Hermitage Chapoutier Premium Selection
One of the great wines from France. Love for vines and wine and the awareness of the need to respect the earth and its terroir have led Chapoutier to adopt a biodynamic cultivation method. Braille on the label has become one of his noticeable trademarks.Buy this wine if you like: Full-bodied red with an opulent character and warm, rich spice.
Description
The recipe works just as well with prawns and the grapefruit gives it a very special tang. I made this version for my brother in law, as he can't stand prawns.
Method

1
Shred the lettuce and divide into 4 prawn cocktails glasses. Mix together the sauce ingredients (you can increase or decrease the amount of Tabasco according to taste, but its best with a bit of a 'zing').
Peel the grapefruit, then remove the segments, leaving behind the dividing membranes. Chop the flesh into bite sized pieces.
Drain the tuna chunks and break them up slightly to a similar size to the grapefruit pieces.
Mix the tuna and grapefruit gently into the sauce, then divide the mixture equally between the 4 cocktail glasses.
Sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or paprika on top.
Serve with thinly sliced brown bread and butter.
Chef's Tips
If you leave out the grapefruit and mash the tuna to a smooth paste with the sauce, it makes a very good sandwich filling.
