Place the pureed tomatoes in a strainer lined with slightly dampened cheesecloth over a bowl. Cover the strainer loosely with plastic wrap and allow to drain overnight in the refrigerator. In a small mixing bowl, stir together tomato mousse with the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and blend well. Set aside, covered, until ready to assemble the dish. Ahi Towers: In a small bowl, combine the tuna, chives and shallots and toss to mix well. Place eight 1 1/2-inch ring molds or cans on a baking sheet which has been lined with parchment paper. Divide the ingredients so that you have enough for all 8 molds, then layer the inside of the molds in the following order, pressing down gently but firmly as you go with the back of a teaspoon or your fingers; a teaspoon of tomato cubes, salt and pepper to taste, avocado, tuna, yellow pepper, tomato, avocado, tuna. Finish with a final layer of the yellow pepper. Assembly: Using a flat-ended metal spatula, carefully slide the spatula between the parchment paper and the bottom of the molds and lift two towers onto each of 4 large, chilled appetizer plates. Spoon a little of the tomato mouse onto each plate opposite the ahi towers. Carefully ease the molds up and away, while holding the towers down with 2 fingers or the back of a teaspoon. Sprinkle the scallion rings around the edges of the tomato mouse and drizzle with a little of the oil. |
