Mediterranean Ceviche
2 lbs. firm fish, cubed (see Quick Tip)
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup pineapple juice, divided use
2 tablespoons salt, divided use
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
1/2 orange pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced small
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 cup olive oil
Place cubed fish in a bowl. Pour lime juice, lemon juice and 1/2 cup pineapple juice over the fish with 1 tablespoon salt. Put in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. The acid in the juice will “cook” the fish.
Drain the fish and add peppers, onion and dill. In a separate bowl, combine ¼ cup pineapple juice, garlic powder and 1 tablespoon salt. Whisk in olive oil to combine. Serve cold.
QUICK TIP 1: You can use any firm fish for this. Although some places use tilapia, I like a nicer fish for this. When I originally made this recipe, I used red snapper and halibut, and it had great flavor. I have also made ceviche using tuna, but feel free to experiment and find what you like.
QUICK TIP 2: If you’re not a huge fan of peppers, I’m sure that tomatoes would be wonderful in this recipe instead. Other common ingredients in ceviche include avocado and jalepenos.
