Ceviche | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) fresh fish fillets (like tilapia or sea bass), diced
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 bell pepper (red or green), finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small bunch of cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons ketchup (optional)
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Fish

Place the diced fish in a bowl and cover with lime and lemon juice. Make sure the fish is fully submerged in the juice. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the fish is opaque and fully "cooked" by the citrus juice.

Prepare the Vegetables

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped onion, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and minced garlic.

Combine Ingredients

After the fish has marinated, drain off some of the citrus juice, leaving a small amount to coat the fish. Add the prepared vegetables to the fish. Mix well.

Season

Add chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, and ketchup or hot sauce if using. Stir to combine.

Serve

Chill in the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes before serving. Serve the ceviche with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or on its own.
