Recipe of Ceviche

Vida Recetas Editorial

Ceviche is one of the most emblematic dishes of Latin American cuisine, originally from Peru, and today it is a worldwide favorite. This easy ceviche recipe lets you prepare at home a fresh, juicy, and flavorful appetizer, ideal for hot days or as a starter to impress your guests. The key lies in the balance between lemon juice, which 'cooks' the fish, and the spicy touch of chili.

Why does this recipe work?

The technique of marinating fish in citrus is simple and quick: the acid in lemon denatures the proteins, giving a firm texture and vibrant flavor. Additionally, the blended mixture of celery, ginger, and garlic adds a unique aromatic base, while red onion and cilantro add freshness and color.

Variations and recommendations

Ceviche has many variations: you can use sea bass, sole, or tilapia, and adjust the spiciness to your taste. This version is perfect for beginners because the steps are clear and the result is guaranteed. Serve it very cold, accompanied by sweet potato, toasted corn, or plantain chips.
