A
while back when things were a little crazy but I had a slight reprieve, I
decided to have a little get together.
I can’t help but feed people when I invite them over, so I decided the
theme for the evening would be South America. After menu planning with Bestie, I made sure to shop for the
appropriate pairings for our dishes.
While I’ll be posting some of the recipes over the next few posts, my
favorite one – the one that had me brushing off my own shoulders was the
Ceviche!
It
was actually remarkably easy but I was definitely reluctant. I mean seriously who cooks fish in lime?
Ingredients
1lb
flounder, or other white fish
1
tsp salt
8-10
limes, juiced (enough to cover fish)
½
jalapeno, chopped
1
garlic clove, chopped
½
red onion, chopped
¼
cup cilantro, chopped
Cut
fish into ½ inch strips. Place
fish in bowl and add salt.
Pour
lime juice over fish and cover with plastic wrap.
Let fish marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or
until the fish appears cooked (it will be a more solid white color rather than
opaque).
Remove from fridge and stir
in jalapeno, garlic, onion and cilantro.
Serve with plantain chips.
This
ceviche was a hit! It is so
incredibly easy to make, I can’t believe I was so scared. My guests loved it and I will
definitely be making it again.
Hungry
yet?
