How to Cook Ceviche
- Remove the skin and bones from the fish and dice the flesh. Put this into a basin and squeeze the juice of the lemons over it. Leave this to marinate for at least three hours, moving the fish round occasionally to make sure it all comes into contact with the lemon juice. The citric acid causes the proteins in the seafood to become denatured, giving the same effect as if the fish had been cooked, but retaining all of the goodness.
- Skin, the tomatoes, remove the seeds and dice the flesh. Core the pepper, remove the seeds and dice the flesh. Strain off the lemon juice then add the tomatoes and pepper to the fish. Stir, then add the olive oil, white wine vinegar and chopped parsley seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir well to mix.
- Line 6 small individual plates with lettuce leaves. Divide the mixture into six and pile onto the lettuce. Peel the avocado, remove the nut, then slice into 12 thin slices. Use these and the olives to garnish the plates of ceviche. Serve immediately.

To remove the skin from a tomato, place it in very hot water (close to boiling) for about one minute. Remove the tomato from the water and you'll find that the skin peels away easily, leaving the flesh perfectly intact.
Reviews of Ceviche
![]() Great recipe. I was dubious about what the fish would be like since it doesn't actually get cooked but in honesty I would never have known the difference. I added an extra avocado to dress the plates a bit more, and used cherry tomatoes instead of the flesh of normal tomatoes. I'll be doing this again. SamF (4 reviews) |

While many people are aware of horseradish sauce (much favoured on beef), less people are aware that you can eat horseradish as part of a salad meal.

In using whole wheat pasta cooked "al dente" in this recipe for Pasta & Artichoke Salad, you will considerably reduce the glycemic index of your meal.

One of my favourite salads and one that I often request when dining out is Caesar Salad
