Procedure:
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, agave honey, chopped parsley, and shallots; spread it over the tuna to marinate. Once marinated, apply the crust with the sesame seeds and let it sit inside the refrigerator.

Sautee the pine nuts and the almonds in butter, add rice and the coconut milk until it boils, season with salt and pepper.
For the sauce: in two separate pots, add butter and shallots in equal portions until it is golden Brown, in one pot add the mango pulp, and in the other the tamarind, add the white wine until it reduces 50%, then add the sugar.
