Recipe Directions

Directions

  • Prepare the main ingredients and place each into 1 large mixing bowl. Open the can for the hearts of palm, remove each, slice thin. Reserve the juice from the can for later, set aside. Peel the cucumber and remove the middle, reserving this pulp of this cucumber for later, discard the skin. Dice the red onion, tomato, sweet peppers, and avocado. Slice the serrano pepper thin. Chop the cilantro leaves. Add the lime juice and mix lightly altogether. Set this bowl aside for later.
  • Prepare the tomatoes in the marinade by setting a cooking pot on the stove with about 2 quarts of water and set it to boil. In 1 large mixing bowl, add the ice and add about 1 quart of water, set the bowl near the boiling pot of water. Cut an x shape on the back of each of the 3 Roma tomatoes. Once the pot of water is boiling, safely lower each tomato into the water using a slotted spoon. Once 1 minute has passed, remove the tomatoes and quickly transfer to the ice bowl and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Move them to a cutting board and remove the core, discard it. Pull off all the skins. Slice each tomato in half horizontal, scoop out the seeds and discard. This does not have to be perfect, just get most of the seeds. Chop them up a little smaller and place in the blender.
  • Dice the red onion and add to the blender. Add to the blender the rest of the sauce marinade ingredients: cilantro stems, oregano, 2 garlic cloves, the saved cucumber pulp, salt, hearts of palm juice and spring water. Blend for 30 seconds.
  • Strain this blended mixture by placing the sieve above the bowl with your main ingredients. Pour the mixture into the sieve and only the liquid from this mixture will be added to your main ingredients bowl, discard the pulp in the sieve. Stir all the ingredients in the bowl together lightly. Cover and refrigerate for 1-3 hours, the longer the better.
  • Enjoy on top of tostadas garnished with radishes and sprouts, served alongside vegan creama and hot sauce.

vegan ceviche with hearts of palm

What is Ceviche?

Ceviche is traditionally a seafood appetizer made in Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. It's a mix of fresh, raw fish cured in the acid of fresh juices, especially limes.

This vegan recipe uses hearts of palm in place of the fish or shrimp that might typically be found in ceviche. This particular recipe does not replicate the fishy flavor, but focuses more on fresh fruits, juices, and ingredients.

Low Calorie, Whole Food, & Raw!

It's a really healthy recipe packed with nutrition! Serving suggestions recommends to serve on fresh tostadas with crema, but you can serve in various ways like with tortilla chips like a dip, inside of lettuce cups, or as a salad beside a main dish in a meal.

Clamato Juice

Traditional recipes might call for a name brand juice cocktail mix called Clamato juice. The sauce and marinade in this recipe replicates (and improves upon) that juice.
