Ceviche

Ceviche is a seafood dish that originated in Peru. It is typically made with fish or shrimp that is marinated in citrus juice, and then mixed with onions, peppers, and other spices. The dish has become popular in other countries, particularly in Latin America, and has even made its way into mainstream American cuisine.

There is some debate over the exact origins of ceviche. Some say that it was first created by the Incas, while others believe it originated with the Spanish conquistadors. Regardless of its origins, ceviche has become a national dish of Peru, and is enjoyed by people all over the world.

The traditional Peruvian ceviche is made with fresh fish or shrimp that is marinated in lime juice, onions, chili peppers, and salt. The dish is typically served with sweet potato, corn, and lettuce. Other ingredients, such as avocado, tomato, and cilantro, are often added to the dish as well.

Advice

When making ceviche, it is important to use the freshest fish possible. It is also important to make sure that the fish is cooked properly. Fresh fish should be marinated in citrus juice, such as lime or lemon juice, for at least one hour before cooking. Additionally, any vegetables used in the recipe should be cut into small pieces so that they cook quickly in the citrus juice. Finally, it is important to season the ceviche with herbs and spices of your choice, such as cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ceviche is cooked properly and has a delicious flavor.
