Basic ceviche recipe!
So, it's still too hot to cook. Cooking over the stove is uncomfortable and gross and turning on the oven makes me sweat just thinking about it. So, here's an amazingly delicious cool and no-cooking-required dish: Ceviche!
For anyone not familiar, ceviche is a Spanish (and Mexican) dish that involves cured raw fish in citrus juice or another acid. Traditionally it is white fish that is used, and for our ceviche, we used sea bass, rock fish, and halibut. It takes a little bit of time (the fish needs time to cure), but is really delicious and absolutely worth the wait. We like to serve this this tortilla chips and we also made a great beet and cucumber slaw to go with it (that will be next week's video).
We used a serrano pepper on this one (I think I accidentally called it a guajillo in the video), but if you want a bit more zing, feel free to move up the Scoville ladder. A couple of Thai bird chilies, or even a scotch bonnet or habanero! You can also use whatever white fish you like, so find out what's fresh at your local fish shop. We generally avoid cod because it so frequently has parasites, but your fishmonger should be able to advise you.
