Best Michel Richards Avocado Soup With Snapper Ceviche Recipes

Ceviche of Red Snapper image

Yield Makes 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb snapper fillet
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp minced jalapeño, seeded
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 plum (Roma) tomatoes
1/2 small red onion
1 green onion
4 tsp chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Cut the snapper into small dice or strips.
Combine the lime juice, olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to blend well. Add the snapper and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
As close as possible to the time you wish to serve the ceviche, prepare the other vegetables. Peel and seed the tomatoes and cut into neat dice or julienne. Cut the red onion into very thin slices and separate the slices into rings. Cut the green onion, white and green parts, very thinly on the bias.
Fold the cilantro into the ceviche and mound it on a chilled platter or individual plates. Scatter the tomato, red onion, and green onion on top of the ceviche.

Yield makes 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boneless, skinless red snapper fillets, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon habanero hot sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably Spanish)
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
1 habanero chile, seeded and minced
8 (5 1/2-inch) crispy yellow corn tortilla shells (page 17), for serving
Garnish: Guacamole, avocado slices, sliced boiled potatoes, corn nuts, popcorn

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the tortillas and garnish and let them marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. Check for salt and serve immediately. The filling can sit for 1 to 2 hours, refrigerated, before it gets mushy.
To serve, divide the filling, salsas, and garnishes equally between the crispy shells and arrange in a taco holder. Or, lean the filled shells in a row, propped upright, on a platter. Eat right away. To build your own, spoon some filling in a crispy shell, top with salsa and garnishes, and eat right away.
