Matthew McConaughey may be best known for his Oscar-winning role in “Dallas Buyers Club,” the lasting cultural impact of “True Detective” and those pink jeans in “Dazed and Confused,” but his latest earth-shaking project is of a different sort. It’s his own “badass tuna salad,” with mayo, lemon, vinegar, wasabi, agave nectar, pickles, crispy jalapeños, apple, red onion, green peas and corn.
The pickles? He says “dill gherkins,” but is that dill-comma-gherkins as in both, or gherkins which are dill instead of sweet? Based on context cues, I’m calling it the latter. The wasabi? Alas, most of what you will get stateside is actually fake wasabi made from ground European horseradish and some kind of coloring rather than real Japanese horseradish, which is expensive and only ephemerally pungent. Mine is fake but workable enough.
