Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 red onion
3 limes
1 red pepper
1/2 cup corn (choclo if available)
1 avocado
1/2 chili pepper (or other hot pepper)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the onion very thinly into half-moon slices and place them in a bowl of salt water. Add the juice of 1 lime and leave them to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Chop the red pepper and place in a bowl with the corn.
  • Finely chop the chile pepper and toss with the vegetables.
  • Chop the avocado and mozzarella cheese into small (1/2 inch) cubes and add to the bowl.
  • Drain the onions and add to the other vegetables. Toss the salad gently with the juice of the 2 remaining limes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Marinate salad in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, covered with saran wrap.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro and toss the salad gently once more, incorporating the chopped cilantro.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your ceviche. Use the freshest fish or seafood you can find, and make sure the vegetables are crisp and colorful.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the fish or seafood into even pieces, which will help it cook evenly. It will also help you avoid tearing the fish, which can make it tough.
  • Marinate the fish or seafood in citrus juice for at least 30 minutes: This will help to "cook" the fish or seafood and give it a bright, citrusy flavor. You can use any type of citrus juice, but lime juice is the traditional choice.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to your ceviche: Vegetables add color, texture, and flavor to ceviche. Some popular choices include tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cilantro, and avocado.
  • Season your ceviche to taste: Ceviche should be bright and flavorful, so don't be afraid to season it to taste. Salt, pepper, chili peppers, and cumin are all popular seasonings for ceviche.
  • Serve ceviche immediately: Ceviche is best served immediately after it is made. This is because the fish or seafood will continue to "cook" in the citrus juice, and it can become tough if it is left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With its bright, citrusy flavor and variety of textures, vegetarian ceviche is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
