This sophisticated vegan aguachile negro is a striking plant-based take on the traditional Mexican seafood dish. Instead of raw fish, this recipe uses buttery hearts of palm and tender artichoke hearts to create a satisfying, meaty texture that absorbs the deep, smoky flavours of the marinade. The signature black colour and complex depth come from blending a completely charred corn tortilla with spicy habanero, balanced by the bright acidity of lemon and pickled red onions.
As a light starter or a refreshing sharing plate, this dish is naturally healthy and gluten-free. The combination of peppery radishes, sweet cherry tomatoes, and fresh coriander provides a beautiful contrast to the dark, savoury liquid. It is an impressive choice for a summer dinner party, as much of the preparation can be completed a day in advance, allowing the bold flavours to develop beautifully before serving.

How to make Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Aguachile Negro
Combine onion and 60ml vinegar in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto surface. Chill until onion is uniformly pink, at least 4 hours.
Heat a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Cook tortilla and chilli, turning often, until completely charred, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
Blend tortilla, chilli, celery, oil, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a layer of cheesecloth into a small bowl; discard solids. Add reserved palm liquid to make 240ml ; season aguachile with salt.
Combine palm and artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and radishes in a large bowl and toss with 80g aguachile; season with salt. Let sit at least 30 minutes.
Just before serving, drain pickled onion and add to marinated vegetables along with coriander. Toss to combine and transfer to a platter. Pour remaining marinade over top or serve alongside.
Do ahead: Onion can be prepared 1 day ahead; keep chilled. Aguachile can be made 1 day ahead.
