Ceviche Base

Serving

Method

Preparation of Ceviche

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the fresh white fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the fish appears opaque and slightly firm.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    While the fish is marinating, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the fish is ready, add the chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, then gently mix everything together.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.

  2. 6

    Plate the Ceviche

    Serve the ceviche in small bowls or on a platter, arranging the avocado slices artfully on top.

  3. 7

    Add Chips

    Serve with a side of tortilla chips for dipping.
