Mexican food from raw fish
Once, when I had Mexican vacation, I was offered to try Mexican food «Ceviche». By that time I had known already something about Mexican cuisine: tacos, burritos and other Mexican fast food, but I had never heard about «Ceviche». Later I notice that this food is very common in Mexico, and prepares from raw fish. Well, it is not really raw fish; it cooks in lime juice. But still I felt strange to eat something relatively raw. Although, after I`d remembered that we also eat raw herring in Russia, which cooks in salt water, I made up my mind and decided to try «Ceviche». And this one is my favorite Mexican food now.
Ingredients for Mexican food «Сeviche» :
- 1 kg. of fish (the best is Sole or Bass);
- lime;
- 1 green chili pepper (optional);
- 3 tomatoes;
- 1 avocado;
- 2 mangos (optional);
- 1 bunch of coriander;
- salt and pepper.
Cooking method of Mexican food «Ceviche»:
- Cut fish in small cubs (1 cm).
- Squeeze lime juice in a glass or ceramic tableware and put there the fish. All the fish must be under the lime juice.
- If you want spicier «Ceviche», cut chili pepper in very small pieces and add it to the fish.
- Cover tableware and leave it in the fridge for 40 mins.
- Take the tomatoes; remove the seeds and cut the tomatoes in small cubs; do the same cut for the avocados.
- Cut in small pieces the coriander.
- When the fish is ready, take it from the fridge and delete the lime juice.
