Ceviche Clásico Peruano
Peru's iconic national dish. Fresh, raw fish is 'cooked' by the acidity of lime juice, then combined with thinly sliced red onion, fiery ají amarillo, and fresh cilantro. It's a vibrant and refreshing dish, traditionally served with slices of boiled sweet potato and kernels of choclo (Peruvian corn).
🧂 Ингредиенты
- 500 g Fresh, sushi-grade white fish(Such as sea bass, corvina, or snapper. Ensure it's very fresh and suitable for raw consumption. Cut into 2 cm (approx. 3/4 inch) cubes.)
- 200 ml Freshly squeezed lime juice(About 10-12 limes. Use a juicer to extract maximum juice. Strain to remove pulp and seeds.)
- 1 medium Red onion(Thinly sliced into half-moons. Soak in ice water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite, then drain well.)

- 1 clove Garlic(Minced very finely or grated into a paste.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro(Chopped, leaves and tender stems.)

Prepare the aromatics and vegetables: Cut the fish into uniform 2 cm (approx. 3/4 inch) cubes and place in a chilled glass or ceramic bowl. Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons, then place in a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes to soften its flavor. Mince the garlic very finely. Chop the cilantro. Boil and slice the sweet potato, and prepare the choclo corn.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Create the 'leche de tigre' (tiger's milk): In a separate bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, ají amarillo paste, minced garlic, and a generous pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Marinate the fish: Drain the red onion thoroughly. Add the cubed fish to the lime juice mixture. Gently toss to ensure all fish pieces are coated. Let the fish 'cook' in the lime juice for only 3-5 minutes. The fish should turn opaque on the outside but remain slightly translucent in the center. Over-marinating will make the fish tough.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Combine and serve: Add the drained red onion and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the fish and lime mixture. Gently toss everything together. Taste one last time and add more salt if necessary. Serve immediately, accompanied by slices of boiled sweet potato and kernels of choclo corn. Spoon the delicious 'leche de tigre' over everything.

💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓The quality and freshness of the fish are paramount for ceviche. Always use sushi-grade fish.
- ✓Do not over-cure the fish. The goal is for the exterior to become opaque while the interior remains tender and slightly translucent. This process should be quick.
- ✓The 'leche de tigre' is the flavorful marinade. It's meant to be consumed along with the ceviche.
- ✓For a spicier ceviche, add a small amount of finely minced fresh chili (like rocoto or a milder jalapeño) along with the ají amarillo paste.
- ✓Ensure all ingredients are very cold before serving for the best refreshing experience.
