BAJA CEVICHE
- ½ cup seabass, diced marinated with lemon juice
- 1/3 cup octopus cooked, thinly sliced
- ½ cup baby squid, cooked & sliced into rings
- ¼ cup manila clams, shocked with sake
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, split in half
- 1 tbs chopped cilantro
Ingredients for accompanying Aji Amarillo Sauce
- 1 pint yuzu
- ¾ pint lime juice
- 10 tbs aji amarillo
Cut a seabass filet in small cubes, season it with salt and marinate it in plenty of lemon juice for 15 minutes, then strain it.
Boil the octopus with some vegtables on slow heat until tender for about 1 hour and let it cool in the stock. You might be able to buy the octupus already cooked, which will save time.
Pre-cook the squid in salted boiling water and shock it in an ice water bath. Throw the manila clams in a very hot pan together with a splash of sake, then chill.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, chop the cilantro and mix it with all the seafood and the aji amarillo sauce. Let it marinate at least for 15 minutes before serving.

- 5 eggs
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter spring form pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper or waxed paper. Wrap outside of pan with foil.
Melt the butter and the chocolate together over a double boiler. When completely smooth, remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm, stirring often.
Lightly whip the eggs, salt, and sugar in the mixer. Add the chocolate, butter, and the coffee to the egg mixture and incorporate. Pour batter into the spring form pan. Bake in a water bath for 8 min., until it has barely set. If the cake bubbles at all, it is over-cooked. Remove from oven, allow to cool completely and put in to the refrigerator for one hour before removing from the pan.
