Jaiva

                I have another new recipe to share!  I wanted to give Jason something fresh last night, that fulfilled our need for protein.  We are both tired of chicken and I didn’t really want red meat.  I suggested Ceviche, and he suggested Jaiva.  Together we decided I should make something similar to a classic Ceviche with Imitation Crab Meat and this is what we got.  Yummm!

JAIVA

CLASSIC CEVICHE WITH IMITATION CRAB

  

What You Need:

• 1 1/3 Lb Imitation Crab Meat
• 1 C Fresh lime Juice – 8-10 limes
• 1 medium White onion ½ in dice
• 2-3 medium -large tomatoes ½ in dice
• 1 small Cucumber 1/4 in dice
• 1 Anaheim Chile ¼ in dice
• Canned jalapenos ½ in dice
• 3 Tbs fresh squeezed Orange Juice or
• Cilantro
• Avocado
• 1-2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt
• Tostadas or Tortilla Chips

How – To:

1. Combine crab meat and lime juice in a bowl with cover and marinate for at least 2 hours. 
2. Combine onion, tomatoes, Anaheim Chiles, jalapenos, orange juice, and Cilantro in a med. Bowl.  Cover and let marinate.  * Think Pico De Gallo when dicing.
3.  After the Fish has marinated for at least 2 hours, chop the crab meat and combine both bowls.  Let all the ingredients marinate and bond together for at least another 2 hours.*You do not have to let marinate, you can go ahead and serve at this point if you wish.  I definitely recommend letting the flavors mingle for at least 2 hours.
4.  When ready to serve, add EVOO, salt to taste, more cilantro for garnish, and sliced or diced Avocado.
5. Serve on Tostadas or with Tortilla chips!

CHEERS!
