Ingredients

Metric

Imperial

Ceviche negro base

Guacamole

To serve

  • micro cress, such as lemon balm leaves or micro mizuna
  • daikon radish, cut into a very fine julienne
  • tostada, or tortilla chips

Method

1

Cook the habanero and onion over coals or in a hot pan over a high heat until charred all over. Alternatively, cook them under a hot grill, turning regularly, for about 20 minutes or until charred all over

2

To make the sauce, blend the charred habanero chilli and onion in a food processor with the lime juice, olive oil and salt. Add a bit of water to loosen the sauce if needed. It should be a runny sauce, rather than super thick

3

For the guacamole, blend all the ingredients together either in a blender or with a stick blender. Taste and add more salt if needed. This will keep for three days

4

Mix the persimmon, mooli, pomegranate seeds and avocado together in a bowl and season with a pinch of sea salt. Add the olive oil and ceviche negro base and gently stir together

5

Divide the ceviche between tostadas or tortilla chips

  • tostada
6

Finish with the guacamole, daikon and lemon balm leaves or micro mizuna and drops of olive oil
