Justine Scholfield’s Polynesian fish ceviche recipe
Last weekend noodlies, Sydney food blog had a wonderful opportunity relax on a three day cruise with the Carnival Spirit. I had the chance to watch the engaging Justine Scholfield, former MasterChef contestant and host of Everyday Gourmet (Channel 10), cook a couple of her favourite recipes.
In particular, the healthy Polynesian fish ceviche has a special significance for Justine, watch the noodlies video above and you’ll see what I mean.
Justine kindly shared the recipe with noodlies (thank you, Justine!). Enjoy!
Justine Scholfield’s Polynesian fish ceviche recipe
Serves: 4
Time: 1 ½ hours
Moderate skills
Ingredients
500 g fresh white fish (Mahi Mahi, Gemfish, Blue-eye, Kingfish), cut into 2cm cubes
2 lemons, juiced and strained
3 limes, juiced
1 carrot, grated
1 French shallot, diced
1 tbsp. soy sauce
½ cup coconut milk
Jasmine rice, to serve
1 butter lettuce, leaves picked off, wash and trimmed to form cups
Preparation
Place the fish along with the onion and carrot into a large non-metallic bowl.
Add the lemon and lime juice so it just covers the fish, mix well and cover the bowl with cling wrap. Marinate in the fridge for one to two hours.
Drain off the liquid and press the fish against the bowl until all the juices are extracted from the fish. Add the soy and coconut milk and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon fish into the lettuce cups and serve hot rice on the side.
