Poke, from local Hawaiian cuisine to international dish

We often hear a lot about poke and in recent times in many cities, restaurants have opened that devote themselves exclusively to this dish. 

Originally a Hawaiian dish with fresh tuna, salmon or octopus and vegetables as main ingredients, it has become internationalised with other ingredients.

Perfect for lunch or dinner with friends, poke (literally: chopped) is made with different ingredients, to your taste, that combined together create new flavours. Have you ever tried mango with tuna and crispy onion? Or chicken with wakame seaweed and almonds?

In this gallery we see how to prepare a poke, starting with the basics.
