Tahitian Poisson Cru (Oceania)

1 pound fresh yellow fin tuna

2 small tomatoes peeled, seeded and diced

1 small cucumber peeled, cut in half, seeded and sliced

1 small white onion peeled, cut in half and sliced

1 small carrot peeled and hand shredded

Juice of 3 fresh limes

3 teaspoons fresh ginger (optional) Salt and pepper

4 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk

1 green onion chopped

Cut the tuna in ½-inch-thick cubes. Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, carrots, lime juice and ginger, if using, in a bowl. Place tuna in a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper and then combine with the vegetable mixture. Mix in just enough coconut milk to thoroughly coat all ingredients in the bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with chopped green onions. Best enjoyed with a Mai Tai!
