- Add the seasonings, tomato and olive oil, stir well and refrigerate for at least another hour.
- Remove from refrigeration and let sit until ceviche has warmed enough for the olive oil to return to liquid.
PRO TIP: Show your customers that all Tilapia is not alike, like Fresh Tilapia from the Rainforests of Peru. Peruvian Fresh Tilapia offers flavor, freshness, and texture that has never been associated with Tilapia until now!
