The Best Way to make ceviche
Hey there! Want to make some awesome ceviche? It's basically like cooking fish without using heat - super cool, right? Here's how to do it:
What You'll Need:
- 1 pound fresh white fish (like tilapia or sea bass), cut into small cubes
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8-10 limes)
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1-2 jalapeƱos, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
Steps:
- Cut your fish into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch)
- Put the fish in a glass bowl and cover it completely with lime juice
- Let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes until the fish turns opaque (that means it's 'cooked'!)
- Drain about half the lime juice
- Mix in your onion, tomatoes, jalapeƱos, and cilantro
- Add salt to taste
- Chill for another 15-30 minutes before eating
Important Safety Tip: Always use super fresh fish from a trusted source!
