TILAPIA CEVICHE
No stove? No problem, this ceviche "cooks" in a citrus marinade for 15 minutes. It can be served as a nice light dinner on a summer day, or serve it as an appetizer with chips. You can substitute whichever fish seems fresh that day. You might also adjust the amount of tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, and cilantro. I like it with the hot suace and clam-tomato juice, but feel free to omit them for a more traditional ceviche. From Marcella Vallodolid's Fresh Mexico.

Steps:
- 1. Dice tilapia into small chunks, place in ziploc bag, and squeeze 2 limes and all lemons, along with some salt and pepper into bag.
- 2. Thoroughly massage juice with fish chunks and then refrigerate. Keep turning/massaging fish every half hour or so for about 3 hours. This is how you are "cooking" the fish.
- 3. Chop/dice all vegetables/herbs and set aside, waiting for fish to "cook"
- 4. Once fish is ready, strain the juice out and then combine with the vegetables/herbs.
- 5. Once mixed, squeeze in remaining two limes and then add more salt/pepper to taste.
- 6. Refrigerate until serving. Serve with crisp, fresh tortilla chips. Keeps for only about a day so eat up!
Tips:
- Use fresh tilapia: The fresher the fish, the better the ceviche will be. If you can't find fresh tilapia, you can use frozen tilapia, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Cut the tilapia into small pieces: This will help the fish to marinate more evenly and will make it easier to eat.
- Use a variety of citrus juices: This will give the ceviche a more complex flavor. Lime juice and lemon juice are both good choices, but you can also use grapefruit juice or orange juice.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeño or serrano peppers to the ceviche. You can also add some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Garnish the ceviche with fresh herbs and vegetables: This will add some color and flavor to the dish. Some good choices include cilantro, red onion, avocado, and cucumber.
Conclusion:
Tilapia ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you have some fresh tilapia, give this recipe a try!
