Ceviche

This vibrant ceviche is a refreshing and protein-packed seafood dish, perfect for a light meal or appetizer. Combining fresh fish with zesty lime, crisp vegetables, and aromatic herbs, it’s a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• Fresh white fish (like tilapia or cod) - 200 grams, diced
• Lime juice - 100 ml (about 4-5 limes)
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Jalapeño - 1 small, finely chopped (optional for spice)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
• Avocado - 1 medium, diced (for garnish)
• Tortilla chips - for serving

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced fish and lime juice, making sure the fish is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the fish is opaque and 'cooked' by the lime juice.
2. After the fish is ready, drain excess lime juice if desired, and add the chopped red onion, tomato, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to combine.
3. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
4. Serve the ceviche in small bowls or glasses, topped with diced avocado and accompanied by tortilla chips.
