Description

Ceviche is Peru’s national dish, a spicy, raw fish salad made with citrus juice, chili pepper, and other seasonings:

• PreparationThe fish is marinated in the citrus juice, which “cooks” the fish by denaturing the protein and giving it a slightly cooked texture. The fish is usually opaque and firm when it’s done. 
• ServingCeviche is often served with lettuce leaves, canchita (kernels of corn), and sweet potato slices.
