Ingredients
Directions
Cut away any dark red streaks in fish. Cut fish into ½-inch chunks, and place in glass or ceramic bowl. Mix lime and ginger juices, and add to fish. Add onion, peppers and scallions. Stir to coat. Let sit 30 minutes. Strain off half the juice. Add olive oil, jicama and cilantro. Season with salt, to taste. Serves 4 as an appetizer.
Wine Pairing
Domaine Sauvète 2012 Oneiros Sauvignon Blanc (Touraine)
“Beautiful bright citrus notes pair nicely with the bright acidity and flavors found in this ceviche,” says Alexander Burch, Bastion’s wine director. “When pairing wine with a dish of such high acidity, you need a wine with comparable vibrancy, or it will come off dull and flabby. The Oneiros is a little more round than you would expect from many Touraine Sauvignon Blancs, which softens the pairing.”
