CEVICHE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Heat the oil to 340 degrees F in a medium Dutch oven.
• Remove all skin, pin bones, blood lines and sinew from the red snapper fillet. Chop as evenly as possible into 1/4-inch cubes and transfer to a medium non-reactive bowl.
• Add the lime juice and some salt; cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook the sweet potatoes in the boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes, then mash with the rice wine vinegar and some salt in a medium bowl. Cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Stir in 1 tablespoon coconut cream just before serving.
• Peel the plantain and use a vegetable peeler to slice the plantain into long, thin strips. Fry the plantain strips in the oil until lightly golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• Drain the fish, reserving the lime juice. Add the onion, bell pepper and jalapeno to the lime juice and let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables, reserving the lime juice. Combine the fish with the vegetables and add the remaining 1 of tablespoon coconut cream. Season with salt and add the reserved lime juice as needed.
• To assemble, spoon the sweet potato puree onto 2 plates, making a shallow well in the center. Place a 3-inch round ring mold in the center and fill with the ceviche. Top with the chopped cilantro and chives, then remove the ring mold. Place a tomato half, cut-side up, on top, then top with 2 fried plantain strips.
