How to make Mango Tuna Ceviche:

Cut the tuna into regular tacos. When consuming raw fish, it is always advisable that it has been previously frozen to avoid possible poisoning. Peel the garlic clove and ginger and chop both ingredients. Squeeze the lime or lemon and emulsify the juice obtained with two tablespoons of olive oil.

Trick: you can change the type of oil, sesame oil goes very well with this tuna ceviche with mango recipe.

Put the tuna in a small bowl and place the garlic and minced ginger on top.

Tip: although raw fish is used in ceviches, if you don’t like that sensation in your mouth you can lightly sauté the tuna in a little oil, leaving the inside of the fish pink.

Add the emulsion of oil and lime juice on top and mix well with a spoon so that the tuna is well impregnated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 1 hour. You will see that the fish changes color, this is due to the action of the lemon/lime.

After the marinating time, peel the purple onion and chop it. Also peel the mango and cut the pulp into cubes of the same size. Put the marinated tuna in a larger bowl, add the onion and mango. If you like coriander, add a few chopped leaves to your liking and stir everything well. You can reserve it again in the fridge so that it continues to take on flavors or serve directly.

Tip: if you want, you can add avocado to the recipe.

When you go to serve it, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. And ready! You already have your tuna ceviche with mango ready to eat accompanied by some toast.
