TUNA TATAKI WITH SILVERBEET, CANNELLINI & GOMA-DARE

They say that we all come from somewhere else. I guess that is true. Every civilisation must have started when someone migrated, invaded or drifted from one place to another at some time in history. The people of Jamaica mostly came from Africa. The people of the Americas are believed to have come from what is now China. Via Alaska. And then these people interbred with more invaders. First the Spanish. Then more Africans. Then immigrants from Europe. Then Asia again. All of this is a preamble to what is on this plate - a multicultural melange of mostly Italian and Japanese influences. Tataki is a Japanese style of searing the outside of (usually) beef or tuna so that the middle remains raw. Goma-dare is a Japanese sauce made from white sesame seeds with dashi, mirin, sake, soy sauce and ginger.
