KILAWIN NA TUNA

Ingredients:

2 lbs tuna; skinned, deboned, and cubed

1  1/2 cup vinegar

3 tablespoons ginger, minced

1 large red onion, minced

2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup lemon or calamansi juice

1 to 2 tablespoons red chilies, chopped

Procedure:

1. Place the cubed tuna meat in a large bowl then pour-in 3/4 cups of vinegar.

2. Let stand for 2 minutes then gently squeeze the tuna by placing a spoon on top applying a little pressure.

3. Gently wash the tuna meat with vinegar. Drain all the vinegar once done. This will help reduce the fishy smell.

4. Add the remaining 3/4 cup vinegar, calamansi or lemon juice, ginger, salt, ground black pepper, and red chilies then mix well.

5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

6. Top with minced red onions and serve (you may also add the red onions with the rest of the ingredients in step 4).

7. Share and enjoy!
