Simple Ceviche
I always forget how good and how easy ceviche is to make! Recently Austin's dad went fishing and dropped off some halibut and I was immediately in the mood for ceviche! It can be a simple light appetizer or a delightful main dish.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb of halibut (or any other white fish), cut into small bite size pieces
- 1 cup of Roma tomatoes, diced (Cherry tomatoes work great as well)
- 1 cup lime juice (about 5-6 limes)
- ¼ of red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ poblano pepper, thinly sliced (If you want more heat add a hotter pepper)
- ½ cup of cucumber, diced
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup lemon juice, (about ½ lemon)
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt, add more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 semi-ripe avocado, diced.
- 1 tablespoon of tequila (optional)
Directions:
- In a large bowl add the halibut, red onion and lime and mix well.
- Add garlic, poblanos, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, pepper and tequila if using.
- Mix well, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 45 mins to an hour.
- Before serving add avocado and more salt if needed.
- Serve with chips or on small tostadas
Warmly,
