YELLOWFIN TUNA AND MANGO VODKA CEVICHE

Ceviche is a fun and delicious South American dish. Usually served in the morning and afternoon.

Ceviche is basically a method where you cook your protein in acid usually from an acidic fruit. The usually protein is fresh caught fish.

1 tsp of honey
3 tsp of soy sauce
Juice of 2 oranges
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup fine diced red onion
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 ripe mango, diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
6 ounces sashimi-grade tuna, diced into 1/2 inch chunks
3 mint leaves, rolled and thinly cut
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and citrus juices. Stir in onion, vodka, and mango. Add the vinegar and tuna. Stir in the mint leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for no more than 15 minutes, so you don't over cook the tuna. Serve immediately.
