Mixed Seafood and Avocado Ceviche

April 23, 2013 by Karista 24 Comments

Mixed Seafood and Avocado Ceviche

I’ve forgotten how much fun it is to take a road trip.  Cruising down the highway to some cool tunes, aptly selected and managed by my teenage daughter.

Stopping for a coffee and then a little snack. Talking, laughing, reminiscing about my daughter’s childhood and the adorable things she did and said when she was little.

Thought provoking discussions about life, love and the pursuit of dreams; and how my little girl will someday help shape the world and make it a better place.

All the while driving through cities and the green valley floor; over the rugged mountains to the end of the road that lead to the blue-gray Pacific ocean.  A magnificent vision.

Angry storm clouds rolling past with wind and light rain, as if to say winter isn’t leaving just yet.  It was beautiful.  Magical.

My Sassy Gal, The Photographer

After sharing such a lovely few hours with my daughter, once we arrived to our destination she was ready to kick off her shoes, lounge in her room and watch a movie.  Most likely, while texting or snap chatting her friends about how they were enjoyng their spring breaks.

With the Sassy Gal happily lounging in her room, Ranger Craig and I were ready to explore the little seaside village.  First things first, we found a pub.  The cutest Irish pub with the freshest seafood, and of course, beer.

A festive little pub filled with cheerful souls that made me want to stand on my chair and sing an Irish tune.  But I didn’t.  I gracefully refrained.  Although, I’m sure Ranger Craig wouldn’t have minded.  He’s watched me sing a tune or two.  Thankfully he’s charmed by my somewhat overzealous personality.

Home again, home again and dreaming of the ocean, I decided it was time to bring out the ceviche recipe.  It’s a permanent resident in my frig most of the summer.  Typically prepared with different ingredients depending on my food mood or what I found at the Farmer’s Market.

I hope you love the ceviche so much, it makes you want to stand on your chair and sing an Irish tune. 😉

Mixed Seafood and Avocado Ceviche

Feel free to add in your favorite ingredients.  Sometimes I add diced cucumber, diced red pepper, diced mango or diced pineapple.  Just for fun.

Ingredients

1lb fresh pacific halibut, diced into small bite sized pieces

½ lb bay shrimp

1/2 cup white onion, small diced (1 small – medium onion)

5-6 fresh Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 teaspoon or more of Sriracha hot sauce

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (add additional cilantro if desired)

Fresh lime juice, enough to cover the diced halibut (about 1/2 cup)

sea salt and pepper

1 ripe avocado, diced

Directions

Place the diced halibut and lime juice in a glass or non-reactive bowl. Let the halibut marinate refrigerated for about an hour or two until the small halibut pieces have been cooked through.

Once the halibut is done, drain the all the liquid and then place the halibut back in the glass bowl.

Add the diced onion, tomatoes, bay shrimp and cilantro. Toss gently with the Sriracha and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Before serving squeeze lime juice over the avocado and then gently fold into the ceviche.

Serve with blue or yellow corn chips as an appetizer or light dinner.  But my favorite way to enjoy this ceviche is in warm tortillas as tacos!  Top with a little Cotija or Mexican cheese and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

    It sounds like you had a wonderful spring break! What lovely photos, too. I do love road trips – last year we took an RV road trip with our boys and the time with them was priceless. We live in such a beautiful area – so much to appreciate. And now I’m craving ceviche…looks scrumptious.

Over the past week I’ve been revisiting some of Over the past week I’ve been revisiting some of my older recipes and this Summer Broccoli Salad caught my attention. It’s perfect for the hot summer weather we’re having and bonus, it’s so simple! 

For the dressing I use vegannaise because I think it tastes good and makes the loveliest dressing texture. But if you’d rather use mayonnaise that works just as well. I eat this as a lunch entree  but it also works well paired with grilled fish or shellfish for dinner. 

The recipe is below! Happy Weekend! ❤️

Summer Broccoli Salad
2lbs Broccoli, washed and trimmed into bite sized florets (save the stalk for a soup or stock)
½ cup thinly sliced red onion, about ½ small to medium size onion
¼-1/3 cup sunflower seeds 
1/3 cup dried cherries
For the Dressing:
¾ cup Vegannaise (or mayonnaise)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and fresh pepper to taste

Whisk together the Vegannaise or mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar and honey. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, add the broccoli, sunflower seeds, dried cherries and sliced red onions. Toss the 
broccoli with the dressing and then chill until needed. Serve chilled or slightly chilled.

Its hot out there and I’m thinking something col Its hot out there and I’m thinking something cold and delicious like my Strawberry Coconut Milk Popsicles would be a welcomed afternoon treat. And bonus, I just happen to have a large stash of Oregon strawberries on my kitchen counter. 🍓🍓🍓

I created these a few years ago for an ice cream feature for one of my clients. They’re so good, I make them every summer! Because we’re all living in the heat right now, I thought you’d love the recipe too. 

⬇️

Strawberry Coconut Milk Popsicles 

Makes 8-10 popsicles
Ingredients
1-quart fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
1 15-ounce can whole fat coconut milk
8 ounces sweetened condensed coconut milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla

coconut milk and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
Add the mixture to popsicle molds with popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 24 hours. To

In my first book, The Oregon Farm Table Cookbook, In my first book, The Oregon Farm Table Cookbook, I added a quote that came to me while wandering in quiet solitude one of the many lush berry farms here in Oregon. 

“Each season is like a little treasure box filled with the gift of food”

The thought of finding each seasons treasure box of food fills my food heart with so much joy. And although our summer season got off to a slow start here in the PNW,  over the weekend I found a plethora of the new seasons produce at the farmers markets and local co-ops. Our local CSA’s are also bursting with new produce! 

My first thought was what recipe will I make?! This lovely Blackberry and Burrata Salad came to mind. Now, if blackberries haven’t shown up in your area, not to worry. This salad is lovely with blueberries, strawberries or raspberries. 

Swipe left for the recipe, but you can find it and more in the book! Find the link to the book in my profile. ❤️

I am back in my kitchen and slowly coming down fro I am back in my kitchen and slowly coming down from my post travel high. I won’t lie, it was hard to come home and merge into everyday life again. 

If you follow my stories you might have noticed I was in Great Britain for most of May, with a quick hop over to Belgium to visit family. In the next week, I’ll post about this adventurous trip and include loads of travel information and recommendations, but until then, all I can say is that it was absolutely glorious and beyond my expectations. 

Today however, I’m sharing a salad recipe that includes my latest obsession, roasted apricots. I haven’t written a formal recipe yet, I will post one soon. But if you want to make it this weekend, here you go! 

It’s an easy salad of mixed spring greens tossed with my basil vinaigrette, then layered with a handful of chopped fresh herbs like mint, parsley and basil, sliced green onions, roasted apricots, a scattering of millet, farro or quinoa, chopped cooked bacon (optional) crumbled goat cheese or you could sub with crumbled feta or even Burrata, and pistachios or toasted pine nuts. Then I drizzle with additional basil vinaigrette. 

This salad is loaded with flavor and roasting the apricots gives the salad a lovely sweetness and warmth. Enjoy! 😘

I promise, I don’t live on fish and chips. Ha! H I promise, I don’t live on fish and chips. Ha! However, that said, I’ve certainly consumed a fair amount of the most luscious fresh haddock that may or may not have been ale battered and fried. 😉

I’ve tried all types of seafood dishes over the past few weeks, but the fresh and smoked Scottish haddock has to be some if my faves. 🙌
Oh the luscious food at The Castle Inn in Castle C Oh the luscious food at The Castle Inn in Castle Combe, UK! The first photo is a Twice Bakes “Isle of Mull” Cheddar Soufflé topped with local micro greens. The cheddar is rich without being to overpowering and once the spoon is dipped the soufflé turns creamy and decadent. Truly, it rendered me speechless! 

The Second photo is a Potted Local Pork with Sticky Apples and Crackling. Served with microgreens and additional apples. The flavors were both slightly sweet and savory and paired with the ale bread, it was so good we polished off every last bite. I’ve never had crackling quite like the way it was prepared, it was crisp yet light, well seasoned and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d eat that again tonight. 😉
