Red Snapper Ceviche with Mango
- Basic Ceviche prepared with red snapper fillets, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 ripe but not too soft mango (a Mexican Ataulfo mango, if you can find one)
- 1/2 cup strained freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/2 small garlic clove
- 1/2 small chile de arbol (with seeds), wiped clean, well toasted, and crumbled
- 1/2 small habanero chile
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 small jicama (about 6 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 1 scallion, white and light green part only, thinly sliced (see Notes)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 10 large fresh cilantro sprigs, thick stems removed, the remaining stems and leaves finely chopped (about 3 packed tablespoons)
- 4 large fresh mint leaves, cut into very thin strips
- Juice of 1 lime, or as needed, strained
- Salt if necessary
- While the ceviche is curing, make the sauce: Cut away the flesh from both flat sides of the mango pit, then trim as much of the flesh from the narrow sides of the pit as possible.
- Use a large spoon to separate the flesh from the skin of the 2 large pieces of mango.
- Slice the skin from the smaller pieces.
- Put the smaller pieces in a blender.
- Coarsely chop a little less than half of the remaining mango and add that to the blender.
- Add the orange juice, cider vinegar, garlic, chile de arbol, and habanero and blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a mixing bowl.
- Add the water to the blender jar, swish to rinse it, and add to the bowl.
- Cut the remaining mango into 1/4-inch dice and set aside.
- Drain the ceviche and put it in a mixing bowl; discard the marinade.
- Pour the mango sauce over the ceviche.
- Add the jicama, scallion, red onion, cilantro, mint, lime juice, and reserved mango.
- Stir well, then add salt to taste and more lime juice if necessary.
- Let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Spoon into large cocktail glasses, stick a strip or two of scallion green into each portion, if desired, and serve.
