Ingredients Needed
- 200g fresh white fish (like cod or tilapia), diced

- Juice of 1 pomegranate
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
- Fresh parsley and mint, chopped
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sumac spice for extra flavor
Preparation Steps
Start by marinating the diced fish in lemon juice for about 10 minutes until it begins to “cook” and turn opaque. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and herbs. Add the pomegranate seeds for a burst of sweetness and color. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and optional sumac for a tangy kick.
Once the fish is marinated, gently fold it into the vegetable mixture. Add the pomegranate juice for a fruity acidity that complements the dish’s flavors.
Serving Tips
Serve the ceviche chilled in individual bowls or on a large platter for sharing. Garnish with additional herbs and pomegranate seeds. Pair with warm flatbread or crispy plantain chips for a complete fusion experience.
