Method

step 01

Prepare the Fish:
Finely slice or dice the tumbrell. Place in a chilled bowl and gently dress with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

step 02

Make the Yuzu Mayo:
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with yuzu juice and lime zest until well balanced. Season lightly. Transfer to a piping bag and chill for 10 minutes.

step 03

Prepare the Avocado Purée:
Blend or mash the avocados until smooth. Fold in lemon juice, salt, and chilli if using. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep covered to prevent browning.

step 04

Toast the Tortillas:
Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Toast tortillas for 30–40 seconds per side until lightly crisp. Cut each into quarters.

step 05

Assemble the Dish:
Spoon a layer of dressed tumbrell onto each tortilla piece. Pipe small dots of avocado purée and yuzu mayo on top. Garnish with fresh cress.

step 06

Serve:
Serve immediately while the tortillas remain crisp, with lime wedges on the side if desired.
