Instructions
- 1
Dice the white fish into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a non-reactive mixing bowl. (1 minute)
~1 min - 2
Peel and finely dice the mango. Add to the bowl with the fish. (3 minutes)
~3 min - 3
Finely dice the red onion and mince the jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Add to the bowl. (3 minutes)
~3 min - 4
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl. (1 minute)
~1 min - 5
Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish and fruit mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine. (2 minutes)
~2 min - 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the fish to 'cook' in the lime juice and the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
~30 min - 7
While the ceviche is chilling, peel the jicama. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the jicama into very thin rounds, about 1/16-inch thick. (5 minutes)
~5 min - 8
Just before serving, drain off any excess liquid from the ceviche. Spoon a small amount of the ceviche mixture onto each jicama crisp. (3 minutes)
~3 min
Tips
- For best results, use very fresh, sushi-grade fish. If you are concerned about consuming raw fish, you can briefly sear the fish cubes before marinating.
- The jicama crisps can be made a few hours in advance and stored in an airtight container lined with paper towels to absorb any moisture.
