I will never profess to be a teacher of any merit but I do enjoy cooking and wanted to share one of my favourite dishes with folks. Keep in mind, I don’t actually use recipes and have not been known for measuring ingredients. My approach is rather akin to aim and fire, with tasting along the way!Ceviche is basically marinated seafood mixed with vegetables and spices, served with crackers as a side dish. I happen to love it with fresh salad and good rye bread.
Ingredients:
4 Roma tomatoes
1 small field cucumber
1 small jalapeño pepper
1 medium red onion
4 large cloves garlic
1 bunch culantro (cilantro is much tastier!)
1 -2 fresh limes, juiced
1 lb large shrimp, cleaned and rinsed
Add a couple dashes of salt, pepper and chilli (hot sauce) to taste and a pinch of cayenne pepper to marry the flavours.
Finely mince the garlic, pepper and cilantro. Fine chop the remaining vegetables.
Dip the shrimp into boiling water, stir quickly, remove and rinse in cold water.
Chop the shrimp into halves or thirds, depending on original size.
Mix all ingredients together, adding more seasonings to your own taste.
Allow to marinate in refrigerator 3 – 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
