Recipe of Peruvian Ceviche

Vida Recetas Editorial

Peruvian ceviche is one of the most emblematic dishes of Peruvian gastronomy and a true icon of Latin American cuisine. This ceviche recipe is made with fresh white fish, cut into cubes and marinated in lime juice, which 'cooks' the fish thanks to its acidity. The result is a refreshing dish full of flavor and texture, ideal for hot days or as a light appetizer.

Traditional Peruvian ceviche is served with red onion sliced thinly, chopped chili peppers, and accompanied by boiled sweet potato and cooked corn, which provide a sweet and creamy contrast that balances the acidity of the lime. The final touch is given by fresh chopped cilantro, which enhances the aromas.

This dish is perfect for those looking for a healthy, low-fat, high-protein option. It can be adapted with different types of white fish, such as sea bass, sole, or tilapia, and the level of spiciness can be adjusted to taste. While ceviche is traditionally consumed as a main dish in Peru, it is also served as an appetizer in many parts of the world. Dare to prepare this Peruvian ceviche at home and surprise your guests with an authentic flavor.
