Mushroom Ceviche
This mushroom ceviche boasts an incredible blend of flavors that will awaken your taste buds. The key ingredients come together to create a dish that’s vibrant and fulfilling. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh mushrooms, finely sliced (a mix of button and shiitake works wonders)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 3 limes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Avocado slices, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the mushrooms. In a large bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms with lime juice. Allow them to marinate for about 15-20 minutes. The acidity from the lime juice helps to soften the mushrooms, giving them a ceviche-style texture.
- While the mushrooms are marinating, chop the red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper. Add them to the same bowl after the mushrooms have marinated.
- Next, incorporate the chopped cilantro and olive oil into the mixture. Toss everything gently to combine, ensuring the vegetables are coated well in the lime juice and olive oil.
- Season your ceviche with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the lime juice and seasoning according to your preference.
- If you want to add a creamy twist, serve it alongside slices of ripe avocado. This will complement the dish beautifully and add a luxurious texture.
- Let the ceviche sit for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors before serving.
Enjoy this beautiful Mushroom Ceviche as a refreshing appetizer or a light meal. It is packed with flavors and nutrition, making it a perfect addition to your vegan or vegetarian repertoire. You’ll be amazed at how a few simple ingredients can create such a delicious and satisfying dish!
