We bought some sweet, green mangoes today at the farmer's market, and I happened to stock up on some avocados earlier this week. And what do you do when you have some tomatoes, cilantro and seafood on-hand? You make ceviche of course! This recipe is quite versatile. It's serves as a wonderful side dish, a great relish on any broiled white fish, a refreshing dip with some tortilla chips, or (the way I usually enjoy it) great filling for pita bread!
Ingredients:
- Three large tomatoes
- Two avocados
- One large mango
- One large white onion (minced)
- 1/2 cup of shrimp (cleaned, de-veined, cut in half)
-1/2 cup of squid or cuttle fish steaks (cubed)
- 1/3 cup cilantro (or according to taste preference)
- 4 ounces lime/lemon juice (preferably lime for the aroma)
- salt
Prep & Instructions:
-Clean and chop shrimp and squid into small pieces. In a small pan, add seafood into 2 cups of boiling water. Add 3 tbsp of lime juice. Bring to a simmer until seafood is cooked. Once cooked, strain and set aside to cool.
- In a food processor, finely chop onions, and set aside. Do the same for the cilantro and set aside. Chopping these two ingredients with a food processor is recommended for the fine texture, which subdues their strong flavors.
- Chop tomatoes by removing seeds and pit. Chop diced.
- Chop and dice mangoes and avocados into small pieces.
- Combine diced tomatoes, cooled seafood, cilantro, and onions. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Add avocados and mangoes.
- Stir until ingredients are mixed well. Refrigerate. Best served when chilled.
