Method

  1. In a large glass bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. The juice should completely cover the fish; if not, add a little more. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hr 30 mins.
  2. Remove the fish and onion from the lime juice (discard the juice) and place in a bowl. Add the olives, chilies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil, stir gently, then season with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This can be made a couple of hours in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the ceviche and enjoy with a glass of cold beer.

    Had ceviche in Lima, Peru one lunchtime. The morning's catch mixed with lime and coriander, just so flavoursome. This has reminded me, so will be making soon.

    Not bad. Easy recipe to follow, and even with frozen fish it turned out more than edible! Would love to try it as this recipe suggests - fresh fish and fresh lime juice - one day.

    For all the Vegans out there, if you change the fish for blanched cauliflower it works out just as well as a traditional ceviche.

    This was great! I used cod. It was a little bit too spicy for my liking but next time I will use less chillies. I also used a little stevia instead of caster sugar and had serve it with rice and avocado! Very lovely and filling!
