CAULIFLOWER CEVICHE



Cauliflower Ceviche image

On the hottest summer days, this is the dish to make because it requires zero cooking. A quick marinade of lemon juice, seaweed and fresh vegetables sets up a flavorful, no-fuss ceviche that tastes like the sea despite having no seafood in it. Store-bought minced or "riced" cauliflower won't work for this dish. You have to start by grating or mincing a fresh whole head of cauliflower - that extra step will be more than worth the work it requires. ¡Buen provecho!

Categories     vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small cauliflower (2 pounds), leaves removed
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 large lemons), plus lemon wedges for serving
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced nori sheets, nori flakes or granulated kelp
1 teaspoon wakame, minced or crushed (optional)
1 teaspoon liquid aminos or soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
Coarse sea salt and black pepper
2 ripe medium Hass avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium beefsteak tomato, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 Persian cucumber or 1/2 English cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3/4 cup packed finely chopped cilantro
12 corn tostadas or 7 ounces tortilla chips (about 10 cups), for serving

Steps:

  • Grate the cauliflower against the large holes of a grater, rotating to grate all the florets and stopping at the core. Alternatively, cut off the florets then mince with a knife or pulse in a food processor until it resembles a riced texture.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and add the serrano chile, lemon juice, olive oil, nori, wakame, liquid aminos and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Season again to taste; it should be slightly salty. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
  • When ready to serve, add the avocados, tomato, cucumber and cilantro, and mix well. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Serve over tostadas or with tortilla chips, with lemon wedges, salt and hot sauce.

CEVICHE

This recipe is a staple in Mexico. Raw seafood is cooked by the lime juice! Now don't wrinkle your nose! You would never know the seafood was not cooked prior to serving. Make sure to always use the freshest ingredients! You may substitute many types of seafood for scallops, for example: halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish.

1 pound bay scallops
8 limes, juiced
2 tomatoes, diced
5 green onions, minced
2 stalks celery, sliced
½ green bell pepper, minced
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
⅛ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops all day or overnight until scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them).
