Get ready to dive into a dish that brings all the zesty vibes of classic ceviche without any of the health or eco-worries!
We're talking about hearts of palm, these little wonders harvested from the center of palm trees. In Costa Rica, they're a go-to in both cooked dishes and salads. The best part? They're a real boost for your immune system, packed with vitamin C and zinc.
Now, let's talk flavor. While the OG version of this ceviche rocks the heat with habanero peppers, no worries if you're not a spice champion. Swap those fiery peppers for sweet or mild ones and still enjoy a party in your mouth!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hearts of palm, sliced into small rounds (use fresh, canned, or jarred)
- 1 small sweet onion (like Vidalia), quartered and sliced
- 2 small sweet red peppers, cut into ¼-inch dice
- ¼ small habanero pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 to 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pepper (optional)
Here's how to create this deliciousness in a jiffy:
Mix everything up, starting from the ingredients down to the cilantro, in a bowl. Give it a lovely drizzle of lime juice, and don't forget a pinch of salt. Now, let the flavors dance together as you toss everything gently.
If you're all about that extra zing, go ahead and add a sprinkle of pepper. And there you have it – a delightful bowl of goodness, ready to be devoured!
Pair it up with some popcorn, plantain chips, or tortilla chips – your call. Time to dig in and savor the yumminess!
