Ceviche Moqueca recipe

List of ingredients and preparation instructions

Ingredients: (serves 4)

  • 600g of white fish with a firm flesh (tilapia, sea bream, sea bass, monkfish)
  • The juice of 6 limes
  • ½ yellow bell pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 to 4 red chilis
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup of chopped coriander (cilantro)
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • a couple of dashes of Tobasco
  • palm oil (Dendê)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 250 ml of Cachaça
  • How to make it:

    Cut the fish in small cubes (around 1.5cm square)
    Chop the onion into fine strips
    Remove the seeds from the chilies and chop in thin strips
    Cut the cherry tomatoes in quarters
    Chop the coriander (stalks, root and all)
    Save some of the fresh materials aside to garnish the dish later

    Mix all the ingredients – apart from the Palm Oil and the cachaça – in a bowl and leave to cure for 5 minutes. After the fish has cured on the outside (flesh turns bright white), drain the marinate using a sieve and save the excess liquid. Server in a shallow cup (like a martini glass) or bowl with a an extra dash of coconut milk, a few drops of Palm Oil and some of the fresh garnish on top.

    Mix the reserved marinate juice with the cachaça and serve on a separate martini glass garnished with a small red chili.
