CEVICHE!!
This amazing dish is called ceviche. It is super tasty and pretty darn healthy to boot. It does take a whole day to get done, so be ready for that. Alright let's go!
You need;
Fish. For this dish you will not be cooking the fish so it needs to be something that is safe to eat raw. I used tilapia for mine and it came out absolutely perfect.
Tomato-the amount will depend on how much fish you are preparing. You want to have about 1/2 cup of tomatoes for every cup of fish.
Onion-see the note about the tomato
Salt
Limes-I made three tilapia filets and used about 8 or so limes. You could cheat and buy lime juice, but fresh is always better
Sea salt
oregano
red pepper
Here's what you do:
1. Chop the tilapia into bite size pieces.
2. Chop up your veggies
3. Put it all into an airtight container. Be sure not to use anything that is metal.
4. Squeeze the hell out of those limes. GET ANGRY! You need the fish to be entirely covered in lime juice
5. Sprinkle lightly with the salt, oregano and red pepper.
6. Stir it up, cover it and pop it in the fridge.
You do need to let it set overnight. I read some recipes that said you could give it "a few hours" but you don't want to do that. Stir it up every couple hours.
When it's time to eat there are many, many ways you can serve it. I personally warmed a few tortillas in a skillet then topped them with ceviche, freshly chopped cilantro and hot sauce. I've read that avocado goes well with it as well, but I sadly didn't have any avocados handy. It would be good on a tostada, with chips, etc.
