❄ Christmas SCALLOP Ceviche | Bart van Olphen

scallops

🥗Healthier: shrimp

💰Cheaper: surimi

Shrimp is lower in cost and still provides a seafood flavor.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity at a lower price.

red onion

🥗Healthier: green onion

💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onion is milder and can be used for a fresher taste.

avocado

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: mashed banana

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

Prepare the Tiger's Milk by making a chili puree with yellow chili (Amarillo).

Remove the seeds from the Amarillo chili and place it in boiling water until the skin loosens.

Cut the Amarillo into stripes and set aside for garnish.

Juice two limes into a bowl for the base of the Tiger's Milk.

Peel and cut a thumb-sized piece of ginger in half, adding it to the lime juice.

Half a garlic clove is added to the lime juice as well.

Add coriander stalks to the lime juice and let it infuse.

Slice one red onion opposite to the rings and place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to make it crispy.

Cut a few cubes of pre-cooked sweet potato and set aside.

Cut a ripe mango into cubes.

Cut an avocado in half and use lime juice to prevent browning.

Check the Amarillo chili, drain it, and remove the skin before crushing it into a puree with a fork.

Remove the garlic, ginger, and coriander stalks from the lime juice mixture.

Add one teaspoon of Amarillo paste and a good pinch of salt to the lime juice.

Add one teaspoon of fish stock and a bit of condensed milk to the mixture to balance the acidity.

Slice the scallops in half and add them to the Tiger's Milk, letting them marinate for not over four to five minutes.

Take the red onion and Amarillo out of the freezer and cut them into cubes.

Cube the avocado and add most of it to the mixture, saving a few cubes for decoration.

Plate the ceviche, adding the sweet potato, mango, red onion, and Amarillo cubes on top.

Garnish with extra coriander and drizzle with additional Tiger's Milk before serving.
