Mushroom Ceviche

Here in the Yucatan one of the favourite appetizers/botanas is ceviche.

Ceviche is a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of Latin America. The dish is typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with ají or chili peppers. Additional seasonings, such as chopped onions, salt, and cilantro, may also be added.

Recently we were at  a favourite restaurant, Quereke, where they served a mushroom ceviche…no fish or seafood! Where there is a will, there is a way. Pinterest to the rescue! The following recipe is adapted from the one I found there, as we do not get a great variety of mushrooms (hongos) in Yucatan. Just pick  four different types of mushrooms that you can find.Try it at your next little party!

  • 3 white button mushrooms chopped into small pieces
  • 3 cremini mushrooms chopped into small pieces
