Peruvian Ceviche

Cultural Context

Ceviche is a traditional dish from Peru, celebrated for its fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. It is often served as an appetizer and is a staple in coastal regions of the country. The dish showcases the use of fresh fish, marinated in citrus juices, which 'cooks' the fish and enhances its flavor. Ceviche has gained international popularity and is often associated with Peruvian cuisine, though variations exist in other Latin American countries.
