Ceviche

Dive into the vibrant flavors of this refreshing ceviche, where tender white fish is marinated in zesty lime juice, complemented by crisp red onion, juicy tomato, and creamy avocado. Ideal for a light summer lunch or a festive gathering.

• 500 grams fresh white fish (like tilapia or snapper)
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 medium avocado
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. 1

   In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the cubed fish and fresh lime juice. Ensure the fish is completely submerged in the juice.

2. 2

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the fish to 'cook' in the lime juice.

3. 3

   After the marinating time, check if the fish has turned opaque, indicating it's ready. Drain a little of the excess lime juice if it’s too sour.

4. 4

   Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix to combine all ingredients.

5. 5

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, add more lime juice for extra flavor.

6. 6

   Serve the ceviche in bowls, topping each with diced avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
