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.

Hi Everyone!  Happy holidays, we hope you will be enjoying the company of friends and family this season.

For this week’s bag, we have some wonderful avocados and tahitian limes from Hoalike Farm on the North Shore, eggplant from  Ho Farms, tomatoes from Green Growers, lettuce from Maunawili Greens, tatsoi from Nalo Farms, and thai basil from Pit Farms.

Basil Eggplant A Thai dish with great pictures…

Thai Basil Chicken Another great looking dish with video to walk you through the process!

Easy Eggplant Recipes Some of these are more suited to Italian eggplant, however many will work with Japanese eggplant as well.

Easy Sauteed Tatsoi 5 ingredients:  olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, tatsoi, pine nuts

For a more difficult recipe using your tatsoi and an avocado, try Tatsoi and Warm Scallop Salad with Spicy Pecan Praline.  This recipe takes a little longer and has a number of ingredients, but looks like a great dinner for guests or date night…;)  It serves 6, so you may need to buy more tatsoi or spinach to make enough for six, but you can also cut in half for just two.

Napa Cabbage, Tomato, and Avocado Salad This recipe calls for cherry or grape tomatoes but you can cut your slicing tomato into cubes or thin slices instead.

Avocado Shrimp Salad easy easy easy!! and it uses tomatoes and lime juice…

Chilled Avocado Soup
