    Just before serving, stir juice into tuna mixture. Spoon mixture into wonton cups; top with cress and extra lemon rind, to serve.

Notes

Wonton cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. You need 3 x 12-hole (1-tablespoon/20ml) mini muffin pans. If you only have one pan, that is fine, just cook the wonton cases in batches. You could also serve the tuna tartare in a bowl with a pile of home-cooked prawn crackers for guests to assemble themselves.
