It may look like a fish and taste like a fish but luckily it’s not a fish and it doesn’t smell like one.

This easy plant based ceviche has the perfect texture and appearance and is suitable for the whole family (my 3 year old loves it).

Another great thing about this recipe is that you get to drink fresh coconut water.

Ingredients

  • 2 young coconuts
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 freshly squeezed lemon or lime
  • 1 Armenian cucumber
  • 2 red plum
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Open young coconuts, using a sharp large knife (if you’ve never done this I recommend watching a YouTube tutorial before starting). Reserve the water or drink it, and use a spoon to scrape out coconut meat. Cut into bite size pieces and set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion and set in a medium bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice and a bit of salt and massage for 1 minute. Add the cut out coconut and set aside.
  3. While the coconut is marinating, peel, deseed and slice the Armenian cucumber, slice the plum and cut the cilantro leaves.
  4. Spread the coconut-onion mixture on a large serving plate, decorate with cucumber, plum, cilantro. Drizzle olive oil and finish off with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve or keep covered in the fridge until serving.
