Big Bean Ceviche

A refreshing vegetarian ceviche made with beans, brightened with lime and hot sauce, and topped with avocado and jalapeño.

Ingredients

  • 1 piece large heirloom tomato
  • 1 tsp fine salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Mexican hot sauce (such as Cholula)

Method

  1. Roughly chop the tomato after removing the stem.
  2. Blend the tomato with the salt and sugar until smooth.
  3. Pour the purée into a medium bowl and add the lime juice and hot sauce. Stir so the base is well seasoned.
  4. Fold in the rinsed beans and olive oil. Mix well.
  5. Let rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours so the flavors can develop.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a large, shallow platter.

  8. Arrange the onion, avocado, and jalapeño slices over the ceviche.
