Introduction
This is a light version of the traditional lamb kibbeh, which is a common street food all over the Eastern Mediterranean. There are hundreds of kibbeh recipes and almost every village has its own. Here I have substituted fresh tuna for the lamb. To serve the tartare you’ll need a cutting ring.

Method
To make the tartare:
Boil the water in a pan, then drop in the bulgur wheat and remove from the heat. Allow to stand for 8-10 minutes. Place the bulgur in a cloth and twist until squeezed dry, then put it in to a bowl. Mix in the tuna, red onion, cayenne pepper, sumac, chilli and capers. Season to taste.
Toss the rocket, fennel and radishes with the olive oil and lemon juice, and season to taste.
To serve:
Place a cutting ring in the middle of a serving plate. Fill with the tuna and bulgur tartare, smooth the top and remove the ring. Top with a small handful of the wild rocket and fennel salad, sprinkle with sumac and drizzle with olive oil.
