When I was lucky enough to travel to Colombia, I found myself most excited about the food. So much wonderful fresh seafood. One of my favorite dishes is ceviche with tiger's blood sauce. No, tiger's blood is not from a tiger! It is actually a traditional Peruvian way of preparing ceviche.


Tiger's Blood sauce usually includes lime juice, onions, pepper, salt, some hot chiles, and juices from the fish. I added cilantro to mine because I love the flavor of it.


I am all about presentation, and I love using a biscuit cutter to make terrines. I will do this with rice dishes, desserts, all sorts of things. I love to find new ways to present food that is visually appealing, that highlights all of the ingredients in a unique manner.


I used bay scallops for my ceviche which is my favorite fish for this dish. You can also sub in a white fish or even shrimp.


This is definitely a dish that can be served as a small appetizer for 2-4. I served mine with plantain chips. You can find these at the store already pre-made, which is much simpler.


Ceviche should be prepared RIGHT before you serve to eat. The seafood is only "cooked" in the acid from the lime juice. If you have a sensitivity to raw seafood and / or are pregnant or nursing this is not the dish for you. You should always take caution when eating raw seafood.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400
Roast 1 medium sweet potato drizzled in olive oil and pinch salt and pepper for about 30-45 minutes until skin appears to be getting brown and flesh is pierced easily with a knife. You are not going for super soft here, but some firmness in the potato.

Build your terrine as photographed and serve

Place onion, garlic, stock, fish pieces, lemon, and lime in blender and blend for about 30 seconds
