Today I savored one of my favorite Peruvian foods, yet again... CEVICHE! Now that my days left in Perú are numbered, I have even more of an excuse to splurge on my favorite local culinary dishes. :) (Not that I needed one.)
Ceviche de Pescado:
White fish marinated in lime juice
Aji (spicy pepper sauce)
Cebolla (sweet red onion)
Choclo (big corn kernels)
Yuca (cassava - starchy tuberous root)
Camote (sweet potato)
Yes, the fish is technically raw, but it's cooked a little from the lime juice. Peruvians swear it's a great hangover cure. I think it's great for any day - and best accompanied by a big pitcher of chicha morada (juice made from purple corn). If you ever visit Perú, you MUST try this dish - (and on the northern coast! It's not as good in Lima!)
RIQUÍSSIMO!!
