Big Bean Ceviche
HB-0269 · Hand-built original
This pantry-friendly, vegetarian "ceviche" features canned butter beans and creamy avocado in a spicy tomato-based marinade.
Main ingredient: large heirloom tomato
Ingredients
- 1 large heirloom tomato, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp fine sea salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt), plus more to taste
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp Mexican hot sauce (such as Cholula)
- 1 x 14 oz can butter beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 3½ oz tortilla chips or broken tostadas, for serving
Method
- Toss the chopped tomato with the salt and sugar in a large bowl and leave for 10 minutes so the juices run.
- Stir in the lime juice, hot sauce and olive oil to make the ceviche dressing.
- Add the beans and red onion and toss well to coat. Leave for 10-15 minutes, tossing once or twice, so the beans take on the flavour of the dressing; taste and add more salt or lime if needed.
- Fold through the jalapeño, then arrange the avocado slices over the top.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve straight away with tortilla chips or broken tostadas for scooping.
