Heat Wave Maguro Poke Recipes

Don't ask me what maguro poke is. I ran a search for it on Google and didn't get much of an answer. I looked for it on Recipezaar and came up with a bunch of recipes for Poke Cake. But one of my favorite food blogs, Brownie Points, has a recipe for it today, a suggestion for something simple and no cooking involved, a good way to beat the recent heat wave (hence the name). Looks like a winner to me! Edited to add -- I now know what Maguro Poke means! Thanks to Zaar member Pikake21, who wrote and told me: Poke is the Hawai'ian way of referring to a "sort-of" Japanese sashimi salad. Usually it has some soyu, green onions, sesame, salt, etc involved. Maguro is just one kind of tuna, hence the name maguro poke (pronounced "poh-keh"...instead of "poh-kee."

Poke. Most people on the islands pronounce it Pokey (like Gumby's red pal) but it's pronounced Poke (rhymes with Okay). Otherwise it would be spelled Poki in Hawaiian. Anyway, it's usually made with ahi (the Hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.

This came to me after trying the local Poke which I thought had little piazaz to it. A must here is the freshest Ahi you can find. Frozen will work but I would add 2 tbls. of sweet chili sauce.

The technique for making poke is so basic that even the most inexperienced cooks can get something close to what they'd get in a restaurant. But the one catch is you have to use only the freshest possible tuna, even if that means frozen.
