Ceviche de Checo

I have never made a secret of the fact that I am a die-hard F1 fan and have previously undertaken to create a series of recipes from race locations around the globe. This proved to be more difficult than I first imagined. In an effort not to be outdone, the following year I took on a driver challenge. Sergio (Checo) Pérez was born in Guadalajara, Mexico.

1 green chilli
5 g coriander
75 g Manzanilla olives
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt
3 tbsp orange juice
2 avocados
tortilla crisps

Instructions

1
You could dice your fish or you could thinly slice, carpaccio style, approximately 3/4 to 1cm, it gives a larger surface area so enables the marination time to be halfed without damaging the fillet. Here we have diced.
2
In a glass bowl, combine the fish, the lime juice, red chilli and the onion. Ensure you use enough juice to cover the fish and allow it to float freely; not enough juice means unevenly marinated / cooked fish.
3
Cover and refrigerate for about 90 minutes, until the fish no longer looks raw when broken open. Drain the fish in a colander.
4
In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, green chilies, coriander, olives and any optional olive oil. Stir in the fish and season with salt to taste.
5
Add the orange juice or sugar then cover and place in the frdige if not serving immediately.

Just prior to serving, dice and gently fold in the avocado.

Note

As a massive F1 fan I undertook to create a bunch of recipes from race locations around the globe last year, this was not an easy task. In an effort not to be outdone this year I am taking on a driver challenge in 2022. Sergio (Checo) Pérez was born in Guadalajara, Mexico.
