Appetizer and a Main Dish

My favorite part about this dish is one, it is so fun to cook for a large group. Two, it is so easy to make so I eat it as a quick lunch all the time. It’s extremely satisfying yet I always feel so light after eating it. I typically eat two as a main dish and one as an appetizer.

Stay cool with this refreshing Mango Salsa Tartare made from just a few simple ingredients! It's tropical, light, and so much fun.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked sushi rice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ avocado
  • ½ cup vegan ground beef, my favorite is from Abbot's Butcher
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 large tomato
  • 2 tbsp chopped white onion, can sub for 1 shallot
  • 1 lime
  • fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • Make your mango salsa first. Chop up the mango, tomato, cilantro, and white onion. Toss in a bowl with the juice from 1/2 a lime. This will yield more than you'll need for the tartare so save the rest in the fridge to be used as a dip or topped atop your dinner. I love it over fried tofu with rice.
  • Next cook your vegan beef. I love the brand Abbot's Butcher. Meanwhile cook your sushi rice then fluff in rice vinegar when done cooking.
  • Wait until everything has cooled then assemble your tartares! Using a tartare mold (see blog post for the one I use) add in about 1/4 cup of rice and firmly press down. Press in 1/4 cup or so of vegan beef. Next add in 1/4 avocado diced and gently press down. Add the mango salsa last then top with a squeeze of lime and sea salt if desired.
