In short
Peruvian Ceviche – High-Protein Lime-Cured Fish Bowl contains 290 calories per serving: 34 g protein, 26 g carbohydrate and 4 g fat. It takes 20 minutes in total and makes 2 servings.
About this recipe
This ceviche is a light, protein-packed dish that needs no cooking heat at all, as the acid in the lime juice gently firms the fish. Bright, tangy and fresh, it delivers over 30 grams of lean protein per serving with very little fat.
Method
- 1
Pat the fish dry and cut into even 2 cm cubes for uniform curing.
- 2
Place the fish in a glass bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- 3
Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish until it is fully submerged.
- 4
Add the grated garlic, ginger and chopped chili, then stir gently.
- 5
Let the fish cure in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until it turns opaque.
- 6
Fold in the sliced red onion and chopped cilantro just before serving.
- 7
Serve right away with boiled sweet potato slices and corn on the side.
Tips
- Use the freshest sushi-grade fish you can find, since it is cured rather than heated.
- Do not marinate longer than 20 minutes, or the fish will turn rubbery.
- Soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to soften its sharpness.
