Ceviche

Cultural Context

Ceviche is a traditional Peruvian dish that showcases the country's rich marine resources. It is often served as an appetizer and is popular in coastal regions. The dish is celebrated for its fresh flavors and is a staple in Peruvian cuisine, often enjoyed during festive occasions and gatherings. Ceviche's preparation involves marinating raw fish in citrus juices, which 'cooks' the fish through acidity, making it a refreshing choice in warm climates.
