Ceviche

Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that originates from Latin America. It typically features fresh fish cured in citrus juices and mixed with a variety of vegetables and seasonings. This recipe provides a simple yet delightful way to enjoy this zesty dish, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients:

1 lb white fish
450g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 onion
110g
4 tomatoes
520g
1 avocado
200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish:
- Start by rinsing the fish under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch pieces) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Marinate the Fish:
- Squeeze the juice of 4-5 limes (enough to fully cover the fish) over the cubed fish.
- Stir gently to ensure all the fish is coated with lime juice. The acidic lime juice will “cook” the fish.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and firms up.
3. Prepare the Vegetables and Avocado:
- While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red hot chili peppers (remove seeds for a milder heat, if desired).
- Dice the onion finely.
- Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
- Dice the avocado into cubes, similar in size to the fish pieces, but set it aside to add just before serving to maintain its texture.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the fish is marinated, drain off any excess lime juice, but leave enough to keep the fish moist.
- Add the chopped chili peppers, diced onion, and cubed tomatoes to the bowl with the fish. Gently stir to combine.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Add the Avocado:
- Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado cubes.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the ceviche as a garnish.
- Serve the ceviche immediately with tortilla chips, tostadas, or simply by itself as a refreshing appetizer.

Tips:

- Use the freshest fish possible to ensure the best flavor and texture.

- Dice the vegetables uniformly to ensure even mixing and a pleasing presentation.

- Allow the fish to marinate in citrus juice for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure it 'cooks' properly.

- Adjust the amount of chili peppers to suit your spice preference.

- Serve the ceviche chilled, and consume it on the same day to maintain its freshness.

With its bright, zesty flavors and fresh ingredients, ceviche is a delightful dish that's perfect for warm weather or as a refreshing appetizer. By following this recipe and tips, you can easily create a delicious ceviche that will impress your family and friends.
