👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the seafood: If using fish, ensure it is cut into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled, deveined, and tails are removed. Place the prepared seafood in a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic is ideal).
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Marinate the seafood: Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the seafood, ensuring it is completely submerged. Stir gently. The acidity of the lime juice will begin to 'cook' the seafood, turning it opaque.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Cure in the refrigerator: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. The seafood is ready when it has turned opaque and firm to the touch. For fish, check a piece; it should no longer be translucent in the center. For shrimp, they will turn pink and opaque.
⏱️ 1-2 hours - 4
Drain excess lime juice: Once cured, carefully drain off about half to two-thirds of the lime juice from the bowl. This prevents the ceviche from becoming too sour.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Add fresh ingredients: Gently fold in the finely diced tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. If using, add the ketchup now.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Season and chill: Season the ceviche with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for another 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
⏱️ 15-30 minutes - 7
Serve: Serve the Colombian ceviche chilled, traditionally with plantain chips, saltine crackers, or a side of corn. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓Use only the freshest, sushi-grade seafood for ceviche. If you are unsure about the quality, opt for cooked shrimp instead of raw fish.
- ✓The ketchup adds a subtle sweetness and a characteristic color that is traditional in some Colombian coastal regions. Omit it for a purer lime-and-seafood flavor.
- ✓Ensure your lime juice is fresh. Bottled lime juice may not have the same acidity or flavor.
- ✓Do not over-cure the seafood, or it can become tough and rubbery.
