Re: Lovely Jicama

First it must be spelled correctly
CEVICHE!

2 lbs of firm, fresh fish, snapper, mahi mahi, prawns, squid, clams, anything as long as it is super fresh! cut fish into boneless 1/2 cubes
1 cup lime juice
1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
1 cup of fresh peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
1 nice big habanero or scotch bonnet pepper seeded and finely diced
2 teaspoons of kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
dash of worchestershire
Cilantro
Avocado
low carb tortillas

in a glass bowl with a cover (plasticwrap is fine) place the fish, onion, tomatoes, habanero, salt, pepper, worchestershire .. Cover with lime juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for about an hour, then stir well... Let sit for at least 6 hours, giving time for the flavors to meld nicely...

Serve topped with LOTS of freshly chopped cilantro and slices of avocado ...use sliced jicama as crackers...enjoy!!!! yummmmmmmmmmm....

P-bird I think you have a special radar for the mention of the store who's name we shall not speak!

Re: Lovely Jicama

I so agree, however, in this area there really is not much of any other choices. Sigh.

Re: Lovely Jicama

Can you say low prices? Or budget? There are alot of things I would not be able to afford to buy if not for them, sorry girls I like WALMART!

Re: Lovely Jicama

Soooo how do you pronounce Jicama so I can ask about it at the produce stand? I have never seen it before and had never heard of it before coming to .

Re: Lovely Jicama

I like to cut mine in sticks and sprinkle some splenda and cinnamon on it

I haven't tried oven frying yet, that sounds good.
