SIMPLE PERUVIAN CEVICHE



Simple Peruvian Ceviche image

The best and easiest Ceviche recipe I've ever tasted (and I've tried them all over South America). It's quick, easy and disappears quickly. The habanero peppers make it spicy without giving it the distinctive flavor of jalapenos and it's great without hot peppers too. You can adjust any of the seasonings to suit your taste. I am not a cilantro fan, but this is the only recipe in which I will tolerate cilantro.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs tilapia fillets or 2 lbs other firm white fish fillets, cubed
8 -10 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped (or real Peruvian Aji Amarillo, if you can find it)
8 -12 limes, freshly squeezed and strained to remove pulp, enough to cover fish
1 red onion, thinly sliced and rinsed

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.

GREEN CEVICHE WITH CUCUMBER



Green Ceviche With Cucumber image

This is a dish good enough to feed presidents, and that's what it did when the chef Rick Bayless served it at a state dinner at the White House in 2010 for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico. The green hue comes from cilantro and parsley, and the recipe is similar to one in "Fiesta at Rick's," his cookbook published that same year.

Categories     quick, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 head of garlic, cloves separated
2 to 3 fresh serrano chilies
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 cup packed parsley leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 pounds sashimi-quality skinless, boneless fish fillets, such as Alaskan halibut, ahi tuna, or farmed yellowtail, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 baby cucumbers (about 7 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Tender lettuce leaves (such as butter lettuce), for garnish
2 large ripe avocados, pitted, flesh scooped out and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Place a dry nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Roast unpeeled garlic cloves and chilies, turning frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes for the chilies and 15 minutes for the garlic. Cool, then remove skins from garlic and stems from chilies.
  • In a food processor, combine chilies, garlic, cilantro, parsley, olive oil and salt. Process until nearly smooth. Cover the herb paste and refrigerate until needed.
  • To finish ceviche: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and 1/2 cup of herb paste. Add fish and cucumber, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to an hour). Transfer remaining herb paste to a jar, cover with a film of oil, refrigerate and save for another use, like stirring into eggs or smearing on chicken before roasting or grilling.
  • Taste and season with additional lime juice or salt as desired. Gently fold in most of the avocado, reserving a few cubes as a garnish. Line plates or cocktail glasses with lettuce leaves, and top with ceviche and remaining avocado.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest vegetables possible. Look for vibrant colors and firm texture.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Choose a variety of vegetables to create a colorful and flavorful ceviche.
  • Use the right amount of lime juice. The lime juice should be enough to flavor the vegetables but not overpower them.
  • Let the ceviche marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
  • Garnish the ceviche with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Vegetable ceviche is a light, refreshing, and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious ceviche that everyone will enjoy.
