Peruvian Cooking Class ~ Ceviche


This was the first course in our cooking class in Cusco, Peru.  The  secret is to use a high quality, very fresh fish; and lots of fresh juicy lime. We can't get the same peppers here in the USA; so use a hot chili pepper of your liking instead.   

The next tip is rubbing the bowl with the pepper ~ this imparts a lot of flavor to the fish before marinating.

The last tip is that it only marinates for a few minutes before you stop the "cooking" process by adding the fish or chicken stock.

We had lots of wonderful ceviche during our stay in Ecuador and Peru; this was, without a doubt, among the best.


Bon Appetit!

    1. It's yummy Devin! So different than our experience with Mexican or Hawaiian ceviche. And pisco sours are a must!

    1. We had it all over Spain, too, Dianna; but I'm surprised at how different it is in different countries. Haven't been to Chile (yet) -- but now I will look forward to trying it there, too
