Make the gels
Combine all the ingredients for the beetroot gel.
Dissolve the powders well into the liquid and bring the mixture to the boil.
Ensure that the powders are properly hydrated, then transfer to a bowl over an iced bath to cool (or keep in the fridge).
When the gel gets firm, blend it. Start at low speed and increase gradually. The gel should become liquid but thick enough to make dots.
Season to taste and transfer into a squeezy bottle
Repeat the same operation with the pineapple juice and the ketchup mixture.
Prepare the tuna
Coarsely grind all peppercorns with a grinder or crush by hand and keep aside.
Cut the tuna loin into 2 rectangular pieces 30x30x200 mm.
Coat them with a mix of the ground pepper and fleur de sel.
Place the tuna onto oiled parchment paper.
Heat up a Teflon pan over a medium to high heat and sear the tuna loin on each side for 20-30 seconds and place on the parchment paper.
Transfer to the cutting board and slice to the same thickness of the pineapple.
Make a canvas of your plate using all the different elements. Squeeze dots of the gels around the plate as garnish
- Fluid gel can be stored in the fridge up to a week.
