The texture and taste of this watermelon is really something special and different. Of course, it's not the same as tuna, but it's a very fun and new way to get a completely different texture and taste from watermelon than what we're used to.
Ingredients:
· 750g watermelon, cut into wide strips
· 2 tablespoons lime juice
· 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
· 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
· 80 ml tamari
· 2 teaspoons chili leaves
· 4 tablespoons nori seaweed, finely chopped
· 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
Preparation:
Mix all the marinade ingredients well with a whisk and pour it over the sliced watermelon pieces. Mix everything well so that the watermelon pieces are covered on all sides and let it sit for at least 6 hours or even better.
overnight to achieve the best flavor.
Remove the watermelon from the marinade and place it in the dehydrator on the drying tray. Spoon a little of the marinade over the watermelon and dehydrate for 6 hours at 45°C.
Also add the marinade to the watermelon pieces a little at a time while dehydrating. Don't add too much at once or it will run out of the side. It's important not to let the watermelon dry out too much. Turn the watermelon pieces every 90-120 minutes.
You can keep this watermelon "tuna" in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
