Peruvian Ceviche
Description
Peruvian Ceviche combines pieces of sole fish marinated in a mixture of lemon and lime juice along with aji amarillo pepper and garlic. The citrus juices cure the fish, giving it a firm and opaque texture while imparting a fresh, acidic flavor. The marinade is allowed to work its magic as the fish absorbs the tartness and subtle heat from the aji amarillo pepper.
The dish includes boiled corn, chilled after cooking, which provides a mild sweetness and contrasting sturdiness against the tender fish. Sweet potato strings are fried until crisp, adding a crunchy element and a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity of the ceviche.
The garnishing salsa consists of thinly sliced red onion marinated in citrus juice, chopped cilantro, and seasoning, lending brightness and complexity. This salsa enhances the ceviche’s flavor layers and adds a colorful presentation.
