Reviews
I made this for dinner and topped it with Sunfresh Freezer Jam (Apricot)
made this for a wine tasting dinner with a bunch of friends. This was easy to make, the tuna was delicious. I went to the asian market to get sushi grade tuna. The parmesan crisps were a bit oily and you had to chop of the shredded parm a bit for everything to stick together. The tuna was perfect cold and it transported easily to my dinner party.
