CEVICHE WITH AHI TUNA



Ceviche With Ahi Tuna image

This is my own creation using both modern and traditional ceviche methods. The key of course is fresh fresh Ahi. There's nothing better. Like 'butter'. [email protected] of the reasons that a really terrific Ceviche is , well, really terrific is the type of fish and/or seafood used. It MUST be absolutely of the freshest quality. A friend of mine and his girlfriend were recently in Hawaii and were raving about the quality of the Ahi there. We had a conversation on our foodservice professionals board ( www.restaurantbeast.com )about cryovac Ahi which is harvested in Hawaii and immediately IQF and placed in cryovac so that no oxygen can destroy it's freshness. Rumor has it that Roy Yamaguchi uses this type of Ahi for his restaurant in Palm Dessert (most likely not for his famous in Hawaii). My version is a bit of a cross between two different styles. Shrimp that has been quickly blanched pink, halibut or other sushi-grade fish can also be used in place of the Ahi.

TUNA CEVICHE



Tuna Ceviche image

Fresh chunks of tuna, ripe mango, and creamy avocado combine to make the perfect appetizer or a tasty lunch. I love to eat this with lime-seasoned tortilla chips, but it's just as delicious served in lettuce cups. I try to keep the tuna, avocado and mango pieces between 1/4- and 1/2-inch in size. Best eaten same-day, but can be kept 1-2 days in fridge, keeping in mind that texture will change.

Ceviche is a non-cook prep method, letting the fish marinate and cook in citrus juices. The original recipe calls for Hamachi - also know as Amberjack - but this fish is not recognized by food.com.

HEALTHY TUNA SALAD OR TUNA CEVICHE



Healthy Tuna Salad or Tuna Ceviche image

This recipe has been called both tuna salad but it really has little that resembles the typical tuna salad. My friends have also called it tuna ceviche and it would be a little more accurate at describing what this is. Is really healthy and it goes well with crackers or on tostadas. I make very little because I'm the only one who eats it so feel free to double or triple the recipe for bigger parties.

TUNA CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO AND CILANTRO



TUNA CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO AND CILANTRO image

Categories     Fish     Avocado

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sushi-grade tuna, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large Hass avocado, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus leaves for garnish
Salt

Steps:

  • 1 Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Arrange the tuna slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and freeze until fairly firm, about 15 minutes. 2 Stack the slices of tuna. Using a very sharp chef's knife, cut the tuna into neat 1/4-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed tuna to a medium glass or ceramic bowl and stir in the red onion, lime juice and black pepper. Cover the tuna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring gently with a plastic spatula every 15 to 20 minutes (the diced tuna will change color slightly). 3 Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro. Season the ceviche with salt. Transfer the ceviche to a serving bowl or individual glasses. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Tips for Making Tuna Ceviche:

  • Use fresh, high-quality tuna: The fresher the tuna, the better the ceviche will taste. Look for tuna that is firm and has a bright red color.
  • Cut the tuna into small pieces: This will help the tuna to marinate more evenly and will make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices: Lime juice is the traditional citrus juice used in ceviche, but you can also use lemon juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice. Experiment with different combinations of citrus juices to find the flavor that you like best.
  • Add other flavorful ingredients: In addition to citrus juices, you can also add other flavorful ingredients to your ceviche, such as onions, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, and avocados. Get creative and experiment with different combinations of ingredients to find the perfect ceviche recipe for you.
  • Marinate the tuna for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the tuna to absorb the flavors of the citrus juices and other ingredients. The longer you marinate the tuna, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours before serving or serve it immediately over ice.

Conclusion:

Tuna ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its bright flavors and healthy ingredients, tuna ceviche is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
