Aha....Ahi

So today at the farmers' market, I got some lemongrass-flavored basil, some radicchio, and some awesome ahi  tuna from the fish guy.   I made  sushi rice according to the package directions, adding some green tea leaves to the water (I had too few tea leaves to make tea, and they added a really nice flavor to the rice).  I put a small ball of rice into each radicchio leaf, and topped with the tuna, which was seared for 2 minutes/side and sliced about 1/2" thick.  I spooned on some sauce made from 1 T. soy, 1 T. honey, and 2/3 T sesame oil, although you could easily use a ready-made teriyaki sauce, as well.  For a little added crunch, I sprinkled on some toasted sesame seeds and added some of the finely-chopped basil.  It was delicious!

I'm full.  I'll see you tomorrow, or until then...see you at the market!!
