Ceviche In Cucumber Cups
- 1/2 pound tilapia or other mild fish
- Juice of 4 limes
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes or 1 dash hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt & pepper
- 2 cucumbers
- 1 just-ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
- Ceviche:
- Rinse fish in cold water, then pat dry. Chop finely, and combine in bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper flakes or hot sauce. Mix well and move to fridge--allow to sit for 15 minutes. Add cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cucumber cups:
- Peel cucumbers and score lengthwise with the tines of a fork. Chop off and discard the ends. Slice cucumbers into 3/4" to 1" rounds. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out most of the seeds, leaving a 1/4" layer intact at the bottom of each cup.
- Presentation:
- Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Slice crosswise.
- Leaving most of the liquid in the bowl, scoop 1 tablespoon ceviche into each cucumber cup. Garnish each filled cup with a slice of avocado and pinch of minced cilantro.
