Beverly Hills hotspot Sushi Dokoro Kirala understands you may not be able to pop into their uber chic restaurant for dinner if you live in, say, Omaha (although it's truly worth the flight), so for day two of OK!'s 30 Days of Summer Meals they offer up an exquisite recipe for their Albacore Tuna with Fried Onion and Garlic Ponzu.

Albacore Tuna with Fried Onion and Garlic Ponzu

Serves 1-2 people

Ingredients

Small amount of thin sliced onion (depending on preference)

3 cloves sliced garlic

Chopped cilantro (amount depends on preference)

3 tablespoons of ponzu sauce (soy sauce can be substituted as well)

Handful of flour

2 cups of canola oil

6 pieces of thinly sliced albacore or sashimi grade tuna

Directions

For the onions:

Sprinkle flour over onions and lightly mix together. Pour a serving of canola oil into a hot cooking pan. Put small amounts of the onion mixture into hot cooking pan and lightly fry (do this in small batches to not overcook the onions). Remove onions from oil and put on paper towel to drain excess oil. Mix fried onions with the garlic and set aside.

For the albacore tuna:

Lightly brush the ponzu sauce (or soy sauce) over the sashimi grade Albacore tuna. Place the tuna on a plate with the onion and garlic mixture on top

Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Grilled Cuban Chicken

3 lbs. Boneless Chicken Breast

3 Tbsp. Cuban Dry Rub (recipe to follow)

1 Cup Cilantro Chimichurri (recipe to follow)

1 Vidalia Onion, ½ Inch Thick Cut Rings

2 Tbsp. Grape Seed Oil

½ a bunch of Cilantro Sprigs

Crispy Plantain Chips

12 Lime Wedges

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Pre-heat the grill and rub the chicken on both sides with the Cuban rub. Place rubbed chicken back into fridge while prepping onions. Brush the sliced onions with grape seed oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the rubbed chicken on the grill and cook chicken through until done and internal temperature of 165 degrees is reached. Add the thick sliced seasoned onions to the grill when chicken is almost done. Grill the onions on both sides while keeping the sliced onion rings.

Together, this will make them easier to grill. Once the onions are tender and chicken is done, let the chicken rest while grilled onions are placed into a mixing bowl. Squeeze 6 of the lime wedges on top of the onions. Add some of the cilantro sprigs into the bowl with the warm grilled onions and lime juice. Season the onions with salt and pepper, toss gently and set aside.

To serve the Cuban grilled chicken, sliced the chicken on a bias cut and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the warm grilled onions on top of the sliced chicken, drizzle with the cilantro chimichurri and garnish the dish with the remaining cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.
