Pacific Northwest Ceviche

CategoryDifficultyBeginner

As the warm summer months quickly approach, there’s nothing I crave more then the refreshing flavors of citrus and chili spiked ceviche showcasing fresh Pacific Northwest seafood!

Our newest flavor of Durant fused olive oil combines lime, cilantro and jalapeño for an incredibly bright and flavorful oil that pairs perfectly with this Mexican inspired dish. For even more of the Durant Lime Cilantro Chili olive oil flavor, we lightly drizzled our grocery store corn tortilla chips and Saltine crackers with the oil, then quickly flashed in a 300F oven for a few minutes for a delicious accompaniment!
I hope you enjoy this quick and easy to make dish this summer! Recipe courtesy of Durant Culinary Director, Chef Eric Bartle
