Our Recipes

Every week in our newsletter, we share a “recipe” either from the Cress Menu, a Cooking Class, or just something that we hope you will enjoy, try, and most importantly, make your own. Sometimes, the recipe will be without measurements, rather only ingredients. Sometimes, we will try to include suggested amounts to accomplish the desired flavour profile. But we must be clear that those measurements aren't meant to be taken too seriously (except in the case of vinaigrettes, classical sauces, or desserts). Please feel free to drop us a line as we will enjoy reading your feedback should you decide to try them, so please do not hesitate to let me know.

FRESH FISH CEVICHE
INGREDIENTS

2 lbs super fresh mild fish filet (like snapper, grouper, cobia, triple tail, etc.)
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 cup freshly squuzed lemon juice
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced very thinly
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped including stems
2-3 fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers, chopped finely including seeds (as spicy as you desire)
1/2 cup first cold press extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs freshly grated ginger root
1 tsp freshly minced garlic
granulated sugar, as needed
ground black pepper, as needed
kosher or sea salt, as needed

PROCEDURE

Steep the ginger and garlic in the combined citrus juices in a non-reactive bowl (stainless or plastic) for 10 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Find a balance in the flavours so that the acidity is not overpowering by adding more sugar if necessary. Mix well so that the onions are completely submerged in the juices. Set aside for 30 minutes. Thinly shave the fish using a sharp knife and long strokes (as you would in carpaccio). Submerge in the ceviche marinade and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Serve immediately with crispy tortillas or freshly fried potato or yucca chips.
