Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Clean and trim 1 kg 200 g fish fillet (choose a white fish such as whiting, sole, cod, pollack, etc). Dice fairly small and put into a bowl.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Prepare 3 reds onion (use a small one), chop finely and add to the diced fish. Salt and pepper then mix well.

Stage 3 - 4 min.

Grate 30 g ginger and 3 cloves garlic into the bowl, then mix again.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Squeeze 15 limes.

Stage 5 - 30 min.

Pour the squeezed lime juice over the fish, mix well, cover with a lid or plastic film and leave to "cook" at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

After this time, drain the fish thoroughly, You will notice that the fish will have turned from slightly translucent to opaque after curing (effectively cooked).

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Slice 2 kgs 400 g cooked potatoeses and reheat if necessary.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Serve the ceviche on a bed of lettuce with a little choppped coriander scattered over and with sliced potatoes on the side.

Remarks

For a real Peruvian touch, add a finely chopped fresh red chilli at stage 3, and use sweet potatoes instead of normal ones.

For even more flavour, zest one of the limes and add this to the juice for curing.

You can drizzle a little herb olive oil onto the ceviche just before serving.

Do feel free to adjust the amount of ginger (more or less) and garlic to suit your own tastes.

Keeping

Should be eaten the day it is made.
