Antonio's 'Jungle Jamboree' Fruited Ceviche
A vibrant and refreshing ceviche bursting with tropical flavors, just like the lively animals in Antonio's room. This dish combines fresh white fish with a medley of fruits, marinated in bright citrus for a spectacular appetizer.
Directions
- 1
Place the cubed fish in a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic). Pour the lime juice and orange juice over the fish, ensuring it is fully submerged.
- 2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily. Do not over-marinate, or the fish will become rubbery.
- 3
Gently drain about half of the citrus marinade from the fish, leaving some liquid for moisture and flavor.
- 4
Add the diced mango, avocado, thinly sliced red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the marinated fish.
- 5
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss all ingredients together to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado or fish.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, add a touch more lime juice for extra brightness.
- 7
Spoon the ceviche into individual serving bowls or glasses. For best flavor, serve immediately, or chill for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- 8
Garnish with edible flowers or fresh cilantro sprigs before serving with plantain chips or corn chips on the side.
