Fish ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful delight. Marinating the fish in lime gives it a unique texture. Made with fresh ingredients like onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro, it is an iconic dish of Latin American cuisine.
The fish is seasoned with lime and salt, then left in the refrigerator to "cook" slowly.
Meanwhile, a mixture of onion, tomato, peppers, and cilantro is prepared with lime and salt.
Finally, all is combined with the fish and served with plantain chips or tostones.
A fresh and delicious dish to enjoy in good company.
Fish Ceviche
Ingredients
1 kilogram of Fresh fish
2 Red onions
4 Tomatoes
2 Green or red peppers
200 milliliters of Lime juice
1 A handful of cilantro
Salt and oil
Preparation
Step 1 : The fish is thoroughly cleaned and cut into medium-sized cubes.
Step 2 : Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro.
Step 3 : In a bowl, place the fish with half of the lime juice, ensuring the liquid completely covers the fish.
Step 4 : Add a pinch of salt and cover the bowl, then refrigerate for about 3 or 4 hours so the acidity of the lime "cooks" the fish.
Step 5 : One hour before serving, mix in another bowl the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro with the remaining lime juice.
Step 6 : Add another pinch of salt and refrigerate for approximately one hour.
Step 7 : After the resting time, remove the fish from the fridge and drain the lime juice.
Step 8 : Mix the fish with the prepared onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro mixture.
Step 9 : Add salt and oil to taste, mix well, and serve the ceviche accompanied by plantain chips, tostones, or toasted maize (chulpi).
