Ceviche and Chinese Style Ceviche
ingredients
- 1 pound, bass, snapper, pompano or other firm fish - cut in cubes
- juice of 6 limes
- 2 medium-size tomatoes, peeled if desired - seeded and chopped
- 1 small onion - chopped fine
- 2 or more jalapeno chiles, or poblanos, or combination - chopped fine
- 1/4 cup, olive oil
- 1 tablespoon, white vinegar
- a small handful of parsley sprigs - chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon, oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon, coriander
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh chopped cilantro to taste – or sprigs of fresh cilantro
- Optional:
- 1/2 pound (or more, to taste), medium-size cooked shrimp or rock shrimp (see cooking note about shrimp in introduction)
- Other fish as described in the introduction above
- 1/2 cup (or more, to taste), small, pimento-stuffed green olives
