Ceviche Food

CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. The juice should completely cover the fish; if not, add a little more. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hr 30 mins.
• Remove the fish and onion from the lime juice (discard the juice) and place in a bowl. Add the olives, chilies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil, stir gently, then season with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This can be made a couple of hours in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the ceviche and enjoy with a glass of cold beer.

CEVICHE - THE ESSENTIAL PERUVIAN FISH DISH

Steps:

• Wash and dry the fish. Cut the fish into cubes of approximately 2 cm. Remove any remaining skin, scales or spines. It is important that you only have cubes of lean meat similar in size. Put the fish to the side.
• Wash the lemons and limes. Squeeze them into a large bowl. Strain the fresh lime juice and lemon juice to remove any seeds.
• This lime juice will serve to cook the fish by the marination process. Put the fish cubes into the juice marinade. Make sure that all the flesh is covered by the juice. Cover the container and store in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes. Use some ice cubes to cool the fish faster. From time to time check that the fish is "cooking" and turn gently so that each piece gets plenty of contact with the lime juice.
• While the fish cooks, prepare the garnish. Wash the sweet potatoes with a brush and place in a steamer for about 30 minutes, until they are tender. When the potatoes are soft, remove from the steamer, remove the skin and cut into large pieces.
• Peel the plantain and cut in half, crosswise. With the help of a potato peeler cut the plantain into very thin slices. Place the slices or chips in a pan with enough oil to deep fry them. Make sure they don't touch. With a wooden pallet, stir from time to time. Carefully remove the plantain from the oil and place them on a plate covered with absorbent paper.
• Wash the red peppers and onion. Open the peppers, remove the seeds and veins and cut into small squares. Peel the onion and cut it into thin strips. Finely cut the coriander.
• Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator - the meat should already look cooked (the flesh should be opaque and about to fall apart). Add onion, chili and coriander, ginger, a pinch of salt and stir. Cover the ceviche again and leave it in the fridge for about 10 more minutes.
• Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and place in cups or small plates. Serve with the plantain chips, and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with some coriander and ají limo chili pepper.

SIMPLE PERUVIAN CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except red onion and mix well.
• Place red onion on top and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
• Before serving, mix well and serve with lettuce, corn, avocado or other cold salad vegetables on the side.
• It is important to use a juicer that presses the juice out of the limes, not one that will tear the membrane of the lime sections since this will make the lime juice bitter.

SHRIMP CEVICHE - MEXICAN STYLE CEVICHE RECIPE

Steps:

BASIC CEVICHE

Steps:

• Slice the fish into small, bite-sized pieces. Cut the tomatoes into pieces the same size as the fish and set them aside for later. Zest 1 lime, 1 lemon and the grapefruit and grate them fine; I use a microplane grater to do this. Mince the habanero fine. Juice all the citrus. Add all the ingredients except for the tomatoes and the cilantro to a bowl or plastic container with a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Add the tomatoes and cilantro, mix well and serve cold with chips.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops all day or overnight until scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them).
• Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, celery, green bell pepper, parsley, black pepper, olive oil, and cilantro to the scallop mixture. Stir gently. Serve this dish in fancy glasses with a slice of lime hanging over the rim for effect.

MEXICAN CEVICHE

Steps:

• Dice the fish (approximately 1/2-inch dice if using shrimp use cleaned shrimp).
• Marinate fish in the lime juice in the fridge overnight (this step cooks the fish).
• Stir often.
• Pour off most of the lime juice (just leave it moist).
• Add remaining ingredients except lettuce, avocado and olive. Do this preferably a few hours before serving & refrigerate.
• Toss well and arrange in individual serving bowls that are lined with the lettuce leaves.
• If you wish garnish with sliced avocado and sliced black olives.

PERUVIAN CEVICHE

Steps:

• Deseed and very finely chop the pepper, and trim and finely slice the spring onions, then add to a bowl.
• Slice the fish into 1cm cubes, add to the bowl, then cover and place in the fridge until needed.
• Squeeze the lemon juice into a jam jar, add 1 teaspoon of sea salt, then seseed, finely chop and add the chilli.
• Pop the lid on and place in the fridge to chill - this may seem like a lot of salt but most of it gets drained away. Pick the herbs and cress, and place in the fridge.
• You can assemble the ceviche just before your guests are ready to eat, but it's important that you don't leave the fish marinating for too long - you don't want the acids in the juices to cook the fish. Pour the lemon dressing over the fish mixture and immediately mix it up. Leave it to sit for about 2½ minutes while you lay out the plates.
• Throw most of the herb mixture into the bowl with the fish and very quickly toss it together - no more than 10 seconds.
• Divide the ceviche between 4 plates, gently spoon over a little of the dressing (discarding the rest) and sprinkle with the remaining herbs.
• Drizzle over a little oil from a height, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and enjoy.
