TRADITIONAL MEXICAN CEVICHE

I love me some ceviche and I found that discarded avocado skins make a great serving device for dinner parties because they are easy to carry, they wont leak and they are of course biodegradable! Ceviche originally came from Peru but has since evolved and been expanded on with other South American cuisines. One of my favorite styles is typically seen in Mexican cuisines where they use whole white fish and habanero peppers to give it a refreshing and spicy flavor. Enjoy.

Makes 15 Avocado Cups (small servings)

INGREDIENTS:

2lbs of White Fish (Sea Bass works)
8-10 Garlic Cloves (chopped finely)
2 TSP of Salt
1 TSP of Black Pepper
1 Habanero (remove seed and chop finely)
4 TSP of Cilantro (chopped)
20 Limes (juiced)
1 Medium Red Onion (chopped finely)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix all ingredients except the onion in a bowl. Make sure all ingredients are covered in lime juice. Cover and place in fridge and allow to marinate for 2-3 hours.

After the two or three hours add the onion into the mix, place in avocado cups and serve.

SALMON, AVOCADO AND MANGO CEVICHE - GLUTEN FREE

I love Ceviche! Its honestly one of my favorite things and its so refreshing, filling and light at the same time. Its great if you are trying to lose weight! This dish could make a great appetizer for a dinner party or even just a light lunch on its own. You can also switch up the type of fish if salmon isn't your thing. You do you and enjoy! x

Yields two servings

INGREDIENTS:

6oz of Salmon (remove skin and dice into cubes)*
2 Green Onions (thinly sliced)
1 Avocado (cubed)
1 Mango (cubed)
Salt (as desired)
1 TSP of Olive Oil
1-2 TBSP Fresh Lime Juice

*If you place the salmon in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before cubing it will be much easier to cut.

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl combine cubed salmon with the green onions, salt and olive oil . Mix

Drizzle 1 TSP of lime juice on the cubed avocado (To avoid the avocado from discoloring) and mix it with the mango. Use the rest of the lime juice on the one salmon mixture.

Line a teacup with plastic wrap and add in you salmon mix followed by the mango-avocado mix. . Place in the fridge for 15 minutes so that it helps maintain mold.

Flip teacup onto plate and slowly lift up the teacup. The contents should fall away easily because of the plastic wrap but maintain its form. Remove plastic wrap and enjoy!
