Ceviche
Ceviche is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, particularly in Peru. It is typically made with raw fish that is marinated in citrus juices, such as lime or lemon juice, which “cooks” the fish by denaturing its proteins. Other ingredients may include onion, cilantro, chili peppers, salt, and sometimes additional seasonings like garlic or cumin. The dish is usually served cold and can be accompanied by various sides, such as avocado, sweet potato, or plantain chips. Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is popular in warm weather, and its popularity has spread around the world.
