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.

TILAPIA CEVICHE

I have made this several times, always to raves. It is inexpensive compared to other seafood you can use but the results are still amazing.

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium tilapia fillets (i use frozen ones and they work fine)
1 small red onion diced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 small cucumber, seeds removed, finely diced
1 large tomato, seeds chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 medium limes
2 large lemons
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1-2 medium jalapenos, finely diced
1 pkg tortilla chips

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, high-quality fish: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish that takes well to the acidic marinade in ceviche. Make sure to use the freshest fish you can find.
  • Cut the fish into small pieces: This will help the fish to marinate evenly and cook quickly.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices: Lemon, lime, and orange are all good choices for ceviche. You can also use a combination of juices.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: Common additions to ceviche include chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and avocado. You can also add other vegetables or fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumber, or mango.
  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the fish to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Serve ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing seafood dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it spicy or mild, ceviche is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
