Ceviche is a South American dish which originated in Peru. The following recipe will only cover
|
|
the bare minimum ingredients, so feel free to experiment by adding things like garlic, ginger, peppers
|
|
tomatoes, cilantro, other citrus juices, and anything else you feel might taste good in there.

## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- Seafood
|
|
- Red Onion
|
|
- Lime Juice
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Slice your onion as thinly as you can then let them all sit in a
|
|
bowl of cold water for a while. Soaking your onion slices like this
|
|
will make it so that their flavor is not as strong so that it won't
|
|
overpower everything.
|
|
2. While your onion is soaking cut your chosen seafood into cubes.
|
|
Ceviche can be made with any type of seafood but fish with white
|
|
meat native to South America, or things like shrimp and octopus are best. Season your cubed seafood generously with salt
|
|
and pepper and place in a bowl.
|
|
3. Squeeze the juice of several limes onto your seafood, remember when
|
|
shopping for limes the softer ones will have the most juice. You
|
|
want to get good coverage over all your meat but it is important to
|
|
remember that there is such a thing as too much lime.
|
|
4. Add the onion slices then cover and let sit in the fridge. You can
|
|
get away with eating it after only an hour but ceviche gets better
|
|
as it ages so it may be best to have more patience and let it sit
|
|
overnight.
