This low FODMAP scallop ceviche is a wonderfully refreshing starter dish or great as an Hors D’oeuvre at a cocktail party. Don’t be freaked out by the fact that they’re not cooked over fire. The acid from the citrus juice cures and breaks down the raw fish with a chemical reaction that “cooks” it without use of heat. On a related note, use a glass or ceramic bowl instead of metal, because a metal bowl will darken the ceviche and give it a bad taste. Since you are handling raw fish, buy the freshest diver or sea scallops from a reputable fish market.
My favorite garlic infused oil is Baja Precious – Glorious Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750ml Bottle)
