Poisson Cru

Here is the French Polynesian-style ceviche. Serve this to the guests while they are waiting for the pig to roast. This recipe only serves three people, so you’re going to be busy multiplying this by 10 or 20 after depleting your checkbook buying the fish.

Ingredients

• ½ pound sushi-fresh tuna, cut into chopstick-handleable pieces

• ½ cup each diced cucumber and carrots

• ½ cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, purple ¼your choice)

• 3 fresh bird peppers, finely minced

• ½ cup diced tomato

• ½ cup onion, chopped

• 1/4 cup chives, finely minced

• ½ cup lime juice

• Salt to taste

• 2 cups fresh-grated coconut meat

• 1/4 cup freshly diced pineapple

Instructions

Take a big bowl and mix up the tuna and vegetables with your hands. Add the lime juice and salt. Grate the fresh coconut meat into cheese-cloth and wring out the coconut milk into the mix. Add the pineapple and mix well. Allow to sit for an hour for the fish to "cook." Stir and serve.
