Ceviche

Raw fish cured in citrus juices.

20 minutes
Serves 3
Appetizer

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the fish: Dice the fish into uniform cubes and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl. Season generously with salt and toss to combine.

  2. 2

    Add heat: Stir in the finely chopped ají pepper and let it sit for 1 minute to release its oils and flavors.

  3. 3

    Cure the fish: Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Let it marinate for 5 to 10 minutes until the outside turns opaque white but remains tender.

  4. 4

    Add aromatics: Rinse the sliced red onions in cold water to remove bitterness, then drain and fold them into the fish along with chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve: Plate immediately alongside boiled sweet potato slices and large-kernel Andean corn.
