From various reviews, menus, and my own experiences at
Cuatro (2030 S. Wabash), I know the following ingredients are present in their awe-inspiring Ceviche Vegetariano:
avocado, hearts of palm, white asparagus, baby bella mushrooms, pico de gallo (including at minimum tomato, onion, and a green chile), both lemon and lime juices, vinegar, olive oil, salt, oregano
I strongly suspect that the asparagus and mushroom slices are very briefly thrown on the grill, since there is a smoky flavor to the finished dish. What I am unsure about:
- is the oregano fresh or dried?
- are there other ingredients (ie, cilantro) in the pico de gallo component?
- at what level of firmness do the avocados start?
- how long is the ceviche marinated before serving?
- is there black pepper, or are the few flecks from the grill?
Any insights are most appreciated! I will come back later on and post a few of my other favorite home-tested ceviche recipes and hope you'll do the same.
