Peruvian Ceviche De Pescado Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the fish in salted water for 10 minutes, gently pat dry with a paper towel. Cube the fish, and place in a shallow dish.
• Arrange the onions on top of the fish, and cover with the remaining ingredients. Allow to refrigerate at least 4 hours. Be sure to stir several times. The fish is done once the flesh turns white and opaque, and can be flaked slightly with a fork. This indicates that the acidity of the citrus has denatured the proteins in the fish- the same thing that happens when we "cook" in the traditional sense.
• Serve chilled, garnished with avocado, if desired.

Steps:

• Have grill pre-greased and preheated to medium-high.
• Place fish in a non-reactive bowl. Add 3 cups of chilled water to fish and rinse gently. Drain water.
• Add onions to remaining chilled water and let soak.
• Meanwhile, place aji, garlic, and pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Grind to make a paste.
• Combine fish, lime and lemon juices, aji and garlic paste, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Brush corn and sweet potato slices with oil and place on grill. Cook about 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, divide fish ceviche among 4 lettuce cups and top with onion slices. Serve with grilled corn and sweet potato slices and garnish with Japanese seaweed, if desired.

Steps:

• Soak fish and/or shrimp (do not include lump crab if you're including it) in salted water for 1 hour to tenderize. Drain well.
• Add lemon/lime juice until fish is covered (using more, if necessary) Add the salt, garlic, onion and peppers and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Before serving, fold in cilatro and parsley.
• To serve, line a bowl or large platter with the lettuce. Place the ceviche in the center. Surround it with 3 separate mounds: corn pieces at the top of the platter, sweet potato slices on one end, yucca on the other.
• My personal method: pour off extra citrus mixture from ceviche (to desired combination, myself I prefer extra a little extra juice in the bottom to toss the fish back into as I'm eating); use the citrus to soak the corn, potatoes, and yuca for another 10 or 15 minutes, then drain off before serving.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, then drain, and set aside to cool to room temperature. Place the sliced onion in a bowl of warm water, let stand 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the lime juice, celery, cilantro, and cumin into the bowl of a blender, and puree until smooth. Pour this mixture into a large glass bowl, and stir in the garlic and habanero pepper. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the diced tilapia and shrimp.
• Set aside to marinate for an hour, stirring occasionally. The seafood is done once it turns firm and opaque.
• To serve, peel the potatoes and cut into slices. Stir the onions into the fish mixture. Line serving bowls with lettuce leaves. Spoon the ceviche with its juice into the bowls and garnish with slices of potato.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the fish into strips 1 1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide. Soak the strips in lightly salted water for 1 hour to tenderize. Drain well.
• 2. Put the fish in a bowl and fold in the lime juice carefully. Add the salt, garlic, and aji and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• 3. Just before serving, mix in the parsley, cilantro, and onion.
• 4. To serve, line a bowl or large platter with the lettuce. Place the ceviche in the center. Surround it with 3 separate mounds: corn pieces at the top of the platter, sweet potato slices on one end, yucca on the other. Garnish with the seaweed, if using.
