Chopped Ceviche Recipes

MEXICAN CEVICHE

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a bowl (You may either coarsely chop the shrimp, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.) Add lemon, covering shrimp completely. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until opaque and slightly firm.
• Add tomatoes, onions, cucumber, radishes, and garlic; toss to combine. Gradually add cilantro and jalapenos to desired taste (jalapeno will grow stronger while marinating). Stir in tomato and clam juices to desired consistency. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled with tortilla chips.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Heat the oil to 340 degrees F in a medium Dutch oven.
• Remove all skin, pin bones, blood lines and sinew from the red snapper fillet. Chop as evenly as possible into 1/4-inch cubes and transfer to a medium non-reactive bowl.
• Add the lime juice and some salt; cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook the sweet potatoes in the boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes, then mash with the rice wine vinegar and some salt in a medium bowl. Cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Stir in 1 tablespoon coconut cream just before serving.
• Peel the plantain and use a vegetable peeler to slice the plantain into long, thin strips. Fry the plantain strips in the oil until lightly golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• Drain the fish, reserving the lime juice. Add the onion, bell pepper and jalapeno to the lime juice and let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables, reserving the lime juice. Combine the fish with the vegetables and add the remaining 1 of tablespoon coconut cream. Season with salt and add the reserved lime juice as needed.
• To assemble, spoon the sweet potato puree onto 2 plates, making a shallow well in the center. Place a 3-inch round ring mold in the center and fill with the ceviche. Top with the chopped cilantro and chives, then remove the ring mold. Place a tomato half, cut-side up, on top, then top with 2 fried plantain strips.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. The juice should completely cover the fish; if not, add a little more. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hr 30 mins.
• Remove the fish and onion from the lime juice (discard the juice) and place in a bowl. Add the olives, chilies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil, stir gently, then season with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This can be made a couple of hours in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the ceviche and enjoy with a glass of cold beer.
