tuna avocado poke bowl

When I shared the picture of the tuna avocado poke bowl I made for lunch last week everyone went a bit mad. So rather than leave the recipe to disappear on social media I wanted to keep it here so you can come back to it. If you like sushi or sashimi but are intimidated to make it at home, this is the perfect recipe for you.

When you work from home, Friday lunchtimes can feel a bit of a non-event so when I can, I take a bit of time to make something fancier than what I’d have the rest of the week (cheese and crackers/soup/leftovers).

The freshest fish

You really do need the freshest tuna for this as it won’t be cooked. Ask your fishmonger for sushi grade or sashimi grade and make this the day you buy your fish. I wouldn’t make this with supermarket tuna unless it is on the fresh fish counter at a trustworthy supermarket. If you’re not sure, make the poke bowl but add flaked smoked mackerel or cooked fish.
