Carrot Ginger Sauce
1 small carrot, roughly chopped
1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Tuna Burgers
1 pound sushi-grade tuna
2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
4 whole-grain hamburger buns
1/2 avocado, sliced
To make the carrot ginger sauce, pulse the carrot and the ginger in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar, and blend until smooth. Add in water and blend again. Season with salt and pepper, then pour into a bowl and set aside.
To make the tuna burgers, preheat a grill. Cut the tuna into pieces and pulse in the food processor. In a small bowl, combine two tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and add to the food processor. Blend well.
Using clean hands, shape four patties from the tuna mixture. Brush with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and cook on a grill to desired doneness, about 2-4 minutes on each side.
When done, place on buns. Add the carrot-ginger sauce and avocado, and serve.
