HOW TO MAKE AN AUTHENTIC FISH CEVICHE RECIPE
STEP 1
To make this delicious aperitif, we will pit, peel, and chop 12 avocados into little cubes.
A half-tomato, without the pulp, sliced into squares is also required. Of course, ceviche would be incomplete without a hearty dose of onion.
Peel and cut 12 medium-sized purple onions into thin julienne strips. Finish by grinding or crushing 1 piece of ginger, roughly the size of half a garlic clove.
STEP 2
Open one can of canned cockles (about 100 g), drain the cockles, and save half of the juice. Combine the cockles, avocado, tomato, onion, and ginger in a mixing bowl.
STEP 3
Add half of the canned broth, as well as the juice of half a lemon and half a lime. We’ll attempt not to overpress the citrus fruits so that they don’t turn the combination bitter.
To give it a little zest, we also add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a few drops of our preferred spicy sauce or chili paste. “Season to taste.”
STEP 4
Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to allow the citric acid to take effect. Just before serving, re-mix and add a handful of fresh coriander leaves to the ceviche. You can mash the avocado slightly to make it smoother.
STEP 5
At the table, we sprinkle the plate with crushed kikos for a crunchy finish. We serve it with extra kilos, and if wanted, we recommend pairing this cockle ceviche with some salty biscuits or crackers.
