Steps:
- Working 1 at a time, set a coconut on its side on a cutting board. First, remove the white husk from one end of the coconut to expose the brown shell underneath. Holding the coconut in place with one hand on the rounded end, carefully use the back end, or heel, of the knife to puncture the exposed coconut shell. Do not use any force other than the weight of the knife. Do this a few times, working in a circle until you can wedge your knife into the coconut shell and pop off the top. Drain the coconut water into a bowl and reserve for another use.
- With the cut side of the coconut up, place the knife over the opening and cover the spine (dull side) of the knife with a folded kitchen towel. Using a meat mallet or other heavy kitchen utensil, like a rolling pin, whack the knife where the towel covers it. Repeat a few times until the coconut is cracked in half.
- With a large spoon, scoop out the coconut meat. If necessary, clean the coconut meat by trimming off any hard or woody pieces of the shell. With a sharp knife, cut the cleaned coconut meat into 1 x ½-inch (2 ½ cm x 1 ¼ cm) strips.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the coconut meat, mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime zest and juice, coconut milk, mint, and cilantro. Season with the salt, then stir again.
- Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours.
- Serve the ceviche chilled with tortilla chips or in a tostada shell.
- Enjoy!
SHRIMP CEVICHE SERVED IN COCONUTS
Steps:
- Make the ceviche: Put a large pot of water over high heat and add the lemon, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt, to taste. When it comes to a boil add the shrimp and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp poach just until they are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a sheet pan and refrigerate. When they are cool slice them in half lengthwise. Combine the coconut milk, lime juice, onion, chiles, and cilantro in a large bowl and season it with salt. Add the cooled shrimp and let them marinate, refrigerated, for about 1/2 hour.
- Prepare the coconut shells: Take a hammer and hit the coconut repeatedly (not too hard) around its equator, turning the coconut in your hand. It will eventually split into 2 halves. Drain the liquid from the coconuts.
- To serve: Pour the salt onto a large platter and nestle the coconut halves into the salt so they stand upright. Divide the ceviche among the coconut halves; garnish with drizzles of lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.
CEVICHE WITH COCONUT MILK
Steps:
- Cut the snapper with the grain of the fish. Place the fish in a glass or stainless steel bowl large enough to hold the entire recipe and place it over a larger bowl filled with ice; set aside. Place garlic and peppers on a cutting board and add 2 teaspoons sea salt. Using the flat surface of a chef's knife mash it together until it becomes a paste. Add the garlic-pepper mash to the fish and stir it until it is evenly distributed. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and salt to taste. Add lime juice and coconut milk, and stir. Drain the red onion slices, add to mixture, and stir. Add finely chopped cilantro and stir. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. To serve, place ceviche in glass or stainless steel bowls that are resting in larger bowls, shallow dishes, or a large tray of ice. Top with shaved coconut and cilantro.
