Instructions
To smoke your own tuna:
- Chop tuna steaks into cubes and add to a ziptop bag.
- Add marinade and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat smoker {we use our charcoal grill with wet wood chips}, cover, and cook over indirect heat until the tuna is flaky and cooked.
- Remove and cool completely.
For the dip:
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until creamy.
- Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Scoop into a bowl and garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley.
- Serve with crackers or pita chips for dipping and extra lemon wedges on the side.
