Mock Ceviche and More

January 31, 2011 by Oahu Fresh Leave a Comment

Mock Ceviche from Eating Well dot com
A quick and easy ceviche recipe from the Eating Well website.

The combination of lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro in the Feb. 2-3 bag makes me think Mexican!  So in that spirit, I’m posting a few Mexican- and South American-inspired dishes.   Cucumbers make me think of refreshing summer drinks so a few of those recipes appear too. And remember, we are now selling locally raised beef from the Big Island.

Mock Ceviche

Use your Green Growers tomatoes and Nalo Greens cilantro (and maybe some avocados left over from the Jan. 26-27 bag?)

4 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, minced
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large green bell pepper, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 cup very thinly sliced white onion
  • 1/4 cup quartered green olives
  • 1 avocado, chopped

Preparation

  1. Place tilapia in a medium skillet. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. View full recipe.

Picadillo This is a Cuban recipe, not South American, but it’s a wonderful dish.  Use your tomatoes in this one, serve with rice and black beans, and have the leftovers in a tortilla with some lettuce the next day!

Cucumber Sandwiches The pictures of these sandwiches are great and making me hungry….

Refreshing Cucumber Water An innovative way to use up some cucumber and it’s good for you!
