Peruvian Ceviche Mixto

Cultural Context

Ceviche Mixto is a vibrant dish from Peru, showcasing the country's rich maritime heritage. Traditionally enjoyed on special occasions, this dish combines various seafood marinated in citrus, which 'cooks' the fish through acidity. It reflects the Peruvian love for fresh ingredients and bold flavors, making it a staple in coastal regions. Today, ceviche has gained international acclaim, with many variations emerging worldwide, yet the classic Peruvian style remains a beloved favorite.
