Peruvian Ceviche

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the sweet potato until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch rounds.

  2. 2

    Cut the fish into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a glass or ceramic bowl.

  3. 3

    Slice the red onion very thinly and soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce its bite.

  4. 4

    Mince the garlic and finely dice the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).

  5. 5

    Add lime juice, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and salt to the fish. Mix gently.

  6. 6

    Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

  7. 7

    Drain the onions and add to the marinated fish along with chopped cilantro.

  8. 8

    Gently fold in the corn kernels and season with black pepper.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately in chilled bowls with sweet potato slices and avocado wedges on the side.

Chef's Note

"This vibrant ceviche brings the taste of Lima's coast to your table - the lime juice "cooks" the fish perfectly while you prep. Serve with crispy corn nuts or plantain chips for an authentic touch that'll transport you to Peru."
