400gms market fresh fish fillets (skin off, bone out – snapper, tarakihi, gurnard, groper are all suitable) – diced into 10-15mm cubes
1 lime
30mls verjuice
1 red chili (med hot) – finely chopped
8 fresh mint leaves – roughly chopped
8 sprigs coriander – roughly chopped
1 punnet mixed micro greens
100gms pomegranate seeds
30mls avocado oil (optional)
flakey sea salt, freshly cracked pepper
corn chips or crispy fried tortilla crisps (optional)
Method
Add the capsicum, red onion, mint, coriander & corn into a medium mixing bowl
In another medium mixing bowl, zest ¼ of the lime then squeeze in the juice, add the verjuice, chilli & allow to steep for 5 minutes. Add the Tarakihi & mix to dress all the cubes, season to taste
Now mix the dressed Tarakihi with the vegetables & herbs, check the seasoning
Serve by dividing into 4 even portions onto plates or it can be served onto a sharing platter.
Finish by garnishing the top with pomegranate seeds, micro greens & dressed with the avocado oil. Serve with a side of corn chips or crispy fried tortillas as they can be used to scoop up the ceviche.
Note: serve the ceviche as quickly as possible as the acid in the lime will start to “cook” the protein of the fish (change the texture of the fish).
