CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO, AND CILANTRO



Ceviche with Avocado, Tomato, and Cilantro image

Marinating fish in citrus adds vibrant flavor, and the juice's acid turns the flesh opaque and firms up its texture, so it looks cooked. Combined with bright aromatics, this dish is cool, light, and simple to make.

1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (from 10 limes)

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.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest tuna possible. Sushi-grade tuna is ideal, but if you can't find it, look for tuna that is bright red and firm to the touch.
  • Cut the tuna into small pieces. This will help it to marinate more evenly and cook more quickly.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices. Lime juice is traditional, but you can also use lemon juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice. A combination of juices will give your ceviche a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Ceviche is a raw dish, so the tuna should only be marinated for a short period of time - typically 30 minutes or less. If you overcook it, the tuna will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best when it is served fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the flavor will start to fade after that.

Conclusion:

Tuna ceviche is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or a quick weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
