Ceviche

Ceviche

Ceviche combines very fresh white fish, lime, ají amarillo, red onion, and coriander. This version is served cold with sweet potato and cancha; the citrus changes the fish’s texture but does not make untreated raw fish safe.

Method

Follow each step in order. Ingredient names are highlighted as you go.

6 steps
  1. 01

    Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the sweet potato and cook until tender. Drain and let it cool.

  2. 02

    Set a mixing bowl over the ice so the sea bass stays very cold while you work.

  3. 03

    Add the sea bass to the chilled bowl and season with the salt.

  4. 04

    Stir in the lime juice, ají amarillo, celery, and fresh coriander. Keep the bowl cold and marinate only until the surface of the fish turns opaque while the center remains moist.

  5. 05

    Add the red onion and toss gently so it stays crisp.

  6. 06

    Serve the ceviche immediately with the cooked sweet potato, cancha corn, and lime wedges. Use fish sold for raw consumption and keep it refrigerated until mixing.
