HOW TO MAKE CEVICHE

Ceviche originated in Peru, and is now found all over South and Central America! It’s super popular and so delicious in Mexico and lately the United States.

Seek out the freshest fish you can, and all you need is a little citrus and acid to “cook” to fish!

We love going with sashimi tuna, which is about as fresh as fresh can be. But don’t worry, if you can’t get your hands on sashimi, super fresh tuna from your fish market will do just fine.

Sashimi-grade tuna is very nice

The acid from citruses, such as lemon or lime juice, literally cooks the fish enough to break down any bacteria that might be lurking in fresh fish.

Be sure to ask your fishmonger the date when the fish was caught. Frozen is okay, but fresh is always best.

HEALTH NOTE: Anyone with a compromised immune system, or the elderly or very young, should avoid consuming raw or uncooked fish or proteins.

CUTTING THE FISH PIECES

When you are cutting up the various fish, think of creating delicious bite-size pieces as you slice.

All the components of this amazing dish should be similar in size.
