Ceviche is a traditional dish in Peru that has been around for many years. It was first made by the ancient Inca civilization and is now enjoyed all over South America and the world.
This dish has many health benefits since it’s low on calories, high on omega-3 fatty acids, and rich in Vitamin C.
It consists of raw fish cured in citrus juices, typically lemon or lime juice, together with various seasonings such as onions, salt, yellow Peruvian pepper paste, jalapenos, cilantro with coconut aminos, and a dash of ginger.
Ceviche can be served as an appetizer or main course with corn tortilla chips, sweet potatoes, and lettuce.
