CEVICHE DE CORVINA

Steps:

• 1. Chef's Note: Since we are not cooking this fish, you want to make sure that it is the freshest you can get... I don't know about you, but I would really like to avoid giving my guests any parasites.
• 2. Cooking Tip: If you don't want to use raw fish, you can make this dish using cooked seafood, like: shrimp, lobster, or crabmeat. If you do, then reduce the marinating time to 15 or 20 minutes.
• 3. Chef's Note: The fish corvina tastes like or is similar to sea bass. It has firm, white flesh and a mild taste. Some species of corvina are orangemouth corvina, yellowfin corvina and golden corvina.
• 4. Cut the white fish into bite-size pieces.
• 5. If you are using a chili pepper, cut it in half, pole-to-pole, remove the seeds, and then dice small.
• 6. Chef's Note: You could use a rather mild chili; like the Jalapeño M (Capsicum annuum)... coming in at a modest 24,000 on the scoville scale, or you could do something like a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper (Capsicum chinense) with a scoville rating of 1.2 million, and burn the bottom of your stomach out... up to you.
• 7. Place all of the ingredients (including the fish) in a bowl, and then pour the lemon juice over everything, and mix to combine.
• 8. Chef's Note: If you want a different taste try using lime juice instead of lemon juice, or mix them fifty/fifty.
• 9. Cover and put into the refrigerator for 24 hours. This gives the lemon juice time to denature the proteins of the fish. They will literally cook in the acids of the lemon juice.
• 10. Serving Tip: Serve with crisp corn tostadas, avocado and lettuce for a light meal, or with a bowl of good quality tortilla chips as a snack with drinks.
• 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CORVINA TRADITIONAL

Steps:

• To make the candied sweet potatoes, put the sweet potatoes, syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes, reserving the syrup, and let cool. Once the potatoes are at room temperature, put them back in the cooled syrup to store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Drain the potatoes well before using. You should have about 2 cups.
• In a nonreactive bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients until well combined. Add the corvina and toss to combine. Add the celery, red onion, and chopped cilantro and mix well.
• Transfer the ceviche to individual glasses or a large shallow bowl. Place about 1 cup of the candied sweet potatoes on the sides of the glasses or bowl and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
