CEVICHE, ¡a delicious delicacy!

Ceviche is one of the most representative of Peru and known worldwide, it is an exquisite dish and I want to show you a bit of its history and preparation:

It is believed that more than 2000 years ago on the Peruvian coast, the Mochica culture prepared a dish based on fresh fish, which was cooked with the juice of a local fruit, called tumbo;  later, in the time of the Incas, the fish was macerated with a girl, and it was until the arrival of the Spaniards when the ingredients that we know today in ceviche were added: lemon and onion.

In Peru, this delicious dish is usually accompanied by sweet potato and corn.

The recipe to prepare this exquisite dish is as follows:

 2 lb of sea bass fillet

 3 red onions cut Julienne

 8 or 10 lemons

 5 chiquito minced chili pepper

 Pepper
