    Of course traditionally ceviche is made with seafood.  You will see shrimp ceviche, tilapia ceviche, scallop ceviche, just to name a few on restaurant menus or all over the internet.  But if you are a little short on time to make a shrimp or fish ceviche, really consider making this cauliflower ceviche.  In 30 minutes or less, you will be enjoying that distinctive flavor that only ceviche has.

    How to Make Cauliflower Ceviche

    Begin with chopping up a red onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeño and cilantro.  Then chop the cauliflower into florets.

    Cooked cauliflower florets for the Cauliflower Ceviche.

    Boil the cauliflower for a few minutes in boiling water.

    Chop the florets into smaller pieces or finely chop.  This part is a matter of personal preference.

    Mix all the vegetables, fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro together with a little bit of salt and pepper.

    Ingredients

    • 1 head of cauliflower rinsed and cut into florets
    • ½ red onion chopped
    • 5 ounces white mushrooms cleaned and chopped
    • 3 tomatoes seeds removed and chopped
    • 1 jalapeño finely chopped
    • 2 scallions chopped
    • 4 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
    • 2 limes squeezed
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • tortilla chips

    Instructions

    • In a pot over high heat, boil water.  Add cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes.
    • Drain florets in a colander.  Add florets to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process.  Drain again.  
    • Chop florets into smaller pieces and all the vegetables.
    • Add all to a bowl and mix well.  Add lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix all together well.  Marinate for 25 minutes in the refrigerator and serve with tortilla chips.  Enjoy!

    Notes

    If you cannot find tostadas in your local supermarket, you can also make homemade.  Simply add a tablespoon of oil to a skillet over medium heat and fry corn tortillas on both sides until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels and corn tortilla will harden.
