Tilapia Ceviche Recipes

TILAPIA CEVICHE

Steps:

• Chop the tilapia filets into small pieces, place them into a large bowl and cover them with lime juice. The lime juice should be enough to cover the fish, but not cause them to float in a pool of juice.
• Mix the chopped tomato, red onion, cucumber and cilantro into the bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Now, it's just a waiting game! Allow the tilapia to marinate in the lime juice for at least an hour. The key is to find the right amount of time for marination as anything less would mean your tilapia is left raw, and anything more would cause your tilapia to overcook. Taste for a check of the salt and pepper amount before serving and adjust if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut the fish into small pieces: You can dice it or leave it in pieces up to 1/2 inch square, but remember that the larger the pieces the longer it will take to "cook.".
• Salt the fish, then cover with the citrus juice in a non-reactive (glass preferably) container with a lid. Add the sliced onions, jalapenos, lime zest and sugar.
• Chill in the fridge for about 4 hours. When you take it out of the fridge add the cilantro and stir. The "cook" time is the time in the fridge. The acid will "cook" the fish to a nice consistency.
• To serve: place ceviche in a glass bowl and scoop using a plastic serving spoon. DO NOT use a metal spoon because the acid will react with the metal.
• Ceviche is so sharp and acidic it cries out for beer and tortilla chips as an accompaniment -- although you won't find tortilla chips in Peru. In Peru, you will most often find this served with potatoes, either sweet or white.
