Ummm, that salty seafood taste with a bite! Here we begin our best recipes for ceviche, Peruvian style.
What is ceviche (cebiche)?
A ceviche (sebiche, seviche or sibichi), is a dish consisting of seafood marinated in citrus dressing. The most common ceviches use preparations of fish, shellfish, or both.
Your first experience with ceviche may have been on a trip to Mexico.
However, most experts agree that ceviche originated in either Peru or
Ecuador. We'll vote for Peru.
In Peru, ceviche is a widely consumed traditional food.
With the surge in popularity of "The Art of Peruvian Cuisine"
on the world's elite
menus, it is being considered formally as a part of the nation's
cultural heritage.
Its history dates back to pre-Columbian times.
Restaurants known as cevicherias serve this dish exclusively and are
usually full of hungry people.
On the other hand, even restaurants that aren't specifically "cevicherias" along the coast of Peru include ceviche as a salad or main dish on
their menus. And it is delicious!
