Directions
-
Drain the green peppercorns and set aside.
-
Cut off the tip and stem of the plum tomatoes, remove seeds and core.
-
Slice tomatoes into flat slices, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips and horizontally into 1/4-inch pieces.

Place diced tomatoes on a plate, cover, and refrigerate to chill.
-
Chill 4 serving plates in the refrigerator.
-
Slice the fresh tuna into 1/4-inch thick slices.

-
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon of green peppercorns, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup, creating a thick, syrupy consistency.
-
Transfer the reduced liquid to a bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, vigorously beat in 1/4 cup vegetable oil to emulsify and create the glaze.

If the glaze appears shiny or threatens to separate, add a few drops of water or orange juice to stabilize it.
