As we come towards the end of blood orange season I wanted to utilise this fresh and vibrant fruit in a simple way. Crudo seemed like a good choice. The balance of flavours and textures works well. I recommend using transparent soy sauce in the dressing if you can source it. It keeps the colours vibrant. I have also tried this recipe with tuna and it was delicious.

This recipe includes a version of Taberu Rayu that I have developed. The flavour is sweet, salty, complex and not overly spicy. I have found that this oil pairs wonderfully well with scallops. They can really stand up to the robust flavour. Treat your scallops like miniature steaks when cooking – an intense heat, don’t move them around too much and aim for a charred outside and a soft, warm inside.

A very different way to cook fresh tuna, this preparation results in a light and crispy fish goujon that has a very satisfying chew. The tangy, spicy mayonnaise brings things to another level.
