Ingredients

350 g tuna (buy a whole piece from the head end of the tuna, rather than fillets)
juice of two limes, zest of one
heads of broccoli
2 tbsp. sesame oil
4 small, very ripe cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 long red chilli, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. nama shoyu or soy sauce
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. raw honey
2 tbsp. finely chopped or grated ginger
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 chilli, finely chopped

Cut the tuna into 4 long triangular pieces, sprinkle over half the lime zest and half the juice and salt. Wrap in clingfilm and freeze for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into tiny florets and cut the stalk into tiny cubes. Dress with the juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the ginger, tomatoes, pepper and chilli with the juice of half a lime and one tablespoon of the sesame oil.
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Remove the tuna pieces from the freezer, cut each on into medium slices, arrange on a plate and spoon over the chopped tomatoes, pepper and chilli. Add the broccoli and pour the dressing over the top.
