Border Grill: Peruvian Ceviche Cone with Pickled Onions Recipe


Serves: 4

Peruvian Ceviche Cone Ingredients:
1 lb skinless, boneless Pacific halibut, cut in 1/4-inch dice
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 red onion, diced
1 Aji amarillo chile, stem and seeds removed, minced
1/2 to 1 jalapeño, stem and seeds removed, diced
1/2” piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced or grated
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
1½ tsp Aji amarillo paste
salt, to taste
plantain chips or tortilla chips, for garnish
Pickled Red Onions (see recipe below), for garnish
Sliced California avocado, for garnish

Pickled Red Onions Ingredients:
[Yields 5½ cups]
1 lb red onions, thinly sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp roughly chopped cumin seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 T sugar
1½ tsp salt
1 beet, trimmed, peeled, and cut into 8 wedges

Pickled Red Onions Procedure:
Place the onions in a medium saucepan and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Strain and set the onions aside.

Combine all the remaining ingredients in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Add the blanched onions and simmer an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a container, cover, and refrigerate at least a day before serving. Pickled onions will keep in the refrigerator up to a month.

Peruvian Ceviche Cone Procedure:
In a large bowl, combine fish and enough lime juice to cover. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes. Drain fish, reserving 1/2 cup of lime juice.

Combine fish with remaining ingredients and reserved lime juice to taste and stir gently to combine. Chill thoroughly. Serve in a chilled martini glass, garnished with plantain chips or tortilla chips, Pickled Red Onions, and slices of avocado.
