SEA ROBIN CEVICHE

 

1 lb. Sea Robin Filets
Juice of 5-10 limes
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
12 cup green pepper, chopped
1 sm. jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
6-8 green olives, sliced
1 Tbl. Cilantro. chopped
1 Tbl. scallions, chopped
1 tsp. parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp. oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
Directions: Dice Sea Robin or other firm fleshed fish filets into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes. Marinate the diced fish in a glass or ceramic bowl. (Completely immerse in lime juice) - Cover and refrigerate for 5 hours. (or overnight if desired) Stir occasionally. When marinating is completed, pour off and discard remaining lime juice. Saute the garlic and finely chopped onion, finely chopped green pepper, and very finely chopped hot pepper (jalapeno or serrano) gently in the olive oil to soften. Vary the amount and type of hot pepper according to taste but watch out if using habanero! Allow to cool, then add peeled fresh canned whole tomatoes, chopped, along with the sliced olives and spices. Add all of these to the marinated fish and stir. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce, in cocktail glasses, or with tortilla chips or crackers. AS a quicker and simpler alternative to this recipe, you may wish to combine the marinated fish with you own favorite salsa, using by volume about 1/2 or more fish to 1/2 or less of the prepared salsa. Enjoy!
