INGREDIENTS

FOR THE LECHE DE TIGRE:
¾ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons celery, roughly chopped, inner stalks preferred
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
½ habanero pepper, stemmed, seeded, minced
2 tablespoons red onion, roughly chopped
¾ cups ice
½ pound white firm fish filet, bite sized
1 tablespoon cilantro, leaves picked and roughly chopped
Kosher salt, to taste

FOR CEVICHE GARNISHES:
1 ear fresh corn, cut from the cob
1 sweet potato, peel, cube and boiled until tender, but not falling apart
¼-½ cup red onion, sliced
1 chile (habanero, serrano or any other chile you like), stemmed, seeded, minced
½ cup fresh popped popcorn or cancha (Peruvian corn ‘nuts’)
sprigs of cilantro

METHOD

1. Put the lime, celery, garlic, ginger, habanero, red onion and ice in a blender. Blend until everything is well mixed.

2. Marinate the fish in the mixture for approximately 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Prepare the garnishes.

3. After the fish is done marinating, stir in the corn, sweet potato, red onion and chile. Check seasoning and adjust salt as desired. Spoon into serving dishes, garnish with popcorn and cilantro sprigs.

4. Note: A nice way to serve is to set the ceviche bowl over a bowl of ice.
