1. Prepare the Chickpea Cream:
   Begin by preparing the chickpea cream. Peel and slice the shallot thinly. Heat 10g of olive oil in a pan, then add the whole peeled garlic clove. Add a small amount of water to the pan, infusing it with the garlic aroma. Add a sprig of rosemary, season with salt and black pepper, and then add the pre-cooked chickpeas. Pour in enough water to cover the chickpeas. Allow the mixture to cook gently for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.

2. Cook the Red Onions:
   While the chickpeas are cooking, peel and thinly slice the red onions. In a separate pan, heat 10g of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Set them aside once they reach the desired texture.

3. Blend the Chickpeas:
   Once the chickpeas are tender and infused with the flavors, use an immersion blender to purée them until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary, creating a velvety cream.

4. Assemble the Dish:
   To plate, start by spreading a layer of the smooth chickpea cream at the bottom of each serving plate. Top with a generous portion of the crispy, sautéed red onions. Finally, drain the tuna fillets and gently place them atop the onions.

5. Finish and Serve:
   Season with freshly cracked black pepper and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh dill for an aromatic touch. Divide the dish equally among the 4 plates.

6. Serving Suggestion:
   Serve the tuna fillets on chickpea and red onion velvet soup as a refined appetizer for any special occasion, or enjoy as a light, savory starter for a dinner party. It’s sure to impress with its harmonious flavors and beautiful presentation.
