How to make our Kingfish Tartare with Edamame Purée & Pickled Edamame Recipe:
1. To make the purée, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the spring onion and garlic, season well with salt, then cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes, or until softened. Add the edamame and butter and 1⁄2 cup of water and cook for 5 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the edamame are tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Place the edamame mixture in a blender, add the rice-wine vinegar and mirin and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until cold.
2. Place the vinegar, lime zest, salt and sugar in a small, clean saucepan and bring to a simmer, then cook until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the edamame and set aside to lightly pickle.
3. To serve, divide the purée between plates. Scatter with pickled edamame, chopped kingfish and cucumber rounds. Top with the micro purple shiso and finger lime pearls, and drizzle with chilli oil to serve.
