Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh tuna or firm-fleshed fish
  • 1 teaspoon small capers
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Juice of 3 limes
  • 3/4 cup green olives sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion very finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 avocados

Plantain Chips (Mariquitas)

  • 2 green plantains
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Ceviche

  • Chop the Fish: Cut the tuna into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.
  • Marinate: Add the juice of 3 limes to the bowl and toss to coat. Marinate until the edges of the cubes begin to turn opaque, tossing occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Discard Lime Juice: After marinating, discard the lime juice from the bowl.

Combine Ingredients

  • Mix Ingredients: Add the green olives, avocado, red onion, and capers to the bowl with the fish. Season with salt and mix until well combined.
  • Add Olive Oil and Lime Juice: Drizzle in the olive oil and add the fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary.

Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

    Prepare Plantain Chips

    • Slice Plantains: Use a mandolin to thinly slice the plantains.
    • Fry Plantains: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt.

    Serve

    • Plate the Ceviche: Serve the ceviche in individual bowls or plates.
    • Add Plantain Chips: Serve with a side of crispy plantain chips.
