Peruvian Ceviche image

Ceviche is Peru's national dish. Walking the streets of Lima, it is hard to go three blocks without finding a cevicheria serving up the popular delicacy. Versions are also sold from mobile vending wagons pushed along the dusty streets of the capital's shantytowns and at fine eating establishments in the most affluent residential areas. This one, with its spicy red peppers and tart lemon juice, would go well with corn and sweet potatoes, a light and refreshing meal.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ears of corn
1 large sweet potato
2 pounds of fresh sole or sea bass, cut into half-inch cubes
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
2 teaspoons chopped coriander

Juice of 8 to 10 small lemons
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large leaves of lettuce

1 large hot red pepper, sliced into quarter-inch rings

  • In separate pots, boil the corn and the sweet potato until tender. Peel the sweet potato. Let both cool, then cut corn into 2-inch sections and potato into 1-inch sections.
