Indurain, my way- -12/14/13
Indurain is an appetizer named after the famous Spanish cyclist Miguel Indurain. Indurian won five consecutive Tours de France from 1991 to 1995 and is very well known in Europe.
Why it is named after him? I have no clue but all I know is this is a pretty tasty appetizer.
Indurain is made with spicy-sweet
Guindillo peppers, anchovy and an olive skewered on top of cooked Bonito tuna
belly. I like everything about this appetizer but I just don't like the taste of
the cooked tuna belly. For me the cooked tuna is dry so I thought I would
elevate it and replace it with raw sushi rate tuna. I could not find
Guindillo peppers so I replaced them with Pepperoncini.
No cooking in involved so all you need to do is to gather all the ingredients. Cut the tuna into cubes and thread all the ingredients together. Drizzle some good olive oil on top and voila you got a great appetizer.
