It's fishy

Carpaccio is now being served across restaurants in vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions. It is, indeed, a supple dish, brimming with umami goodness, but tahini isn't what we imagined it with. But at this eatery, there's something called a tuna tahini cucumber carpaccio made with house-made tahini that lends a tangy flavour to the dish. "The combination of tuna and tahini is a flavoursome one. While being healthy, the condiment also adds a palatable sourness and bitterness to dishes," explains chef Momin Faqi.
