Cooking Instructions

To make the ceviche:

  1. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the trout in 3 mm thin slices and spread them out on a plate.
  2. In a non-metallic bowl mix the rest of the ingredients together.
  3. Pour the acidic dressing over the trout, cover and refrigerate for 30 mins-1 hour. (If you sliced the fish a bit thicker it will take longer.
  4. The acid will “cook” the trout.

To make the guacamole:

  1. Chop the onion, garlic, chili and coriander fine, add the lime juice and salt and set aside.
  2. Peel the avocados and place the flesh in a bowl and start mashing with a fork, adding the pomegranate juice slowly.
  3. Add the onion mixture to the avocado and combine gently. Check the seasoning and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
  4. When ready to serve, arrange the trout on a serving plate with the guacamole, more coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.  This can be a festive communal platter or also make elegant individually plated starters.
