Ceviche-Perfect Miami Meal
If you have ever lived in Miami or visited you hopefully enjoyed Ceviche, a refreshing, light, and zesty meal. It is an easy, healthy recipe that can be found in many countries.
The origin of ceviche has not been agreed upon, but modern style ceviche created by cheff Dario Matsufuji in the 70′s, usually has a very short marinating period.
You can use scallops or whatever firm, white fish looks the freshest at the market.
Total Time: 5 Hours (by far mostly inactive)
Cooking Time: none
Yield: 2-3 Servings
Ingredients:
1 Lb Small Scallops or desired white fish
Juice of 6-7 Limes, or enough to cover scallops
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1 Small Red Onion, chopped
Jalapeño Pepper, to taste (I used ¼ of one, seeded and diced)
Small Handful of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
½ Tsp Sea Salt
Ground Black Pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp Tequila
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine scallops and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. When finished, drain off most of the lime juice (you’ll instinctively know how much to leave in the bowl, but only a little) and stir in bell pepper, onion, and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and tequila. Pour over scallop mixture, mix well, and refrigerate for at least another hour. Serve.
