Method
1

3
When cool enough to handle, take a bread knife and cut the base into quarters – don’t wait until it’s completely cool, as it will be too brittle. Place on kitchen paper and leave to drain any excess oil
4
Use a very sharp knife to thinly slice the tuna, you’re aiming for 16 slices in total
- 128g of fresh tuna , or 16 sashimi slices (you should have two 8–10g sashimi slices per pizza quarter)
5
To make the ponzu sauce, whisk together the rice vinegar, soya sauce and lemon juice until combined. Stir in the mayonnaise then season to taste with a few drops of truffle oil
