So I have decided to start cooking foods from around the world. I found a website that randomly picks a country and for one week I try and find recipes from that country. First up in my random shuffle was Peru. I even placed a poster of a world map near my kitchen, so we can see where we have been on our food journey.
Now the origins of Ceviche is hotly debated, but in Peru it is considered a national dish, so I'm giving this one to Peru.
What is a ceviche, it is raw fish cured in citrus juices, usually lemon or lime, spiced up with chillies and served with salad leaves, toasted bread, sweet potatoes or avocado to name a few.
When my husband goes fishing and brings home super fresh fish, this is now my favourite thing to serve guests as a starter. The recipe says to use salmon, however, I have also made it using mackerel and king fish, it was divine.
This is light, it is fresh, the flavours amazing. We like to serve it in baby cos lettuce cups. But it is great with crisp Italian ciabatta bread also.
I have put it in the lunch category as it is a light lunch on a Sunday morning for us, but it probably should be in the dinner category as a starter.
