This is a layered FLAVOR blast. This ceviche is our version of a gorgeous dish we tasted in Northern Israel, at an Arabic restaurant in Akko. Here the flavors of the sea are paired with a tangy labneh, fresh za'atar, pistachios, herbs, thinly sliced chilis, tomato seeds and a gorgeous preserved lemon aioli. Finished with an aromatic extra virgin olive oil. Absolutely one of my favorite dishes, I've tasted this year and perfect to make for your lovers!
