Ceviche!
9:23 AM
Ceviche: A delightful dish Peruvians have made famous! Ceviche can be made from many different kinds of fish, in which the fish isn't cooked in the way we think of a fish being cooked. It's actually soaked in lime juices and other seasonings which gives it it's unique yet delicious flavor. Neither my husband or I have ever been very big seafood fans, but our new Peruvian friends insisted on making this national food for us. I'm SO glad they did! Daniel and I both loved the dish! The way Anita prepared it, you couldn't even taste a "fishy" taste.
This is Anita, preparing "Chicharrones de pulpa." They tasted like a spicy tough version of a french fry, and were good dipped in Mayo!
Chicharrones de Pulpa~ On the stove and the finished product!
I was thrilled to find out that they eat cancha (my favorite snack) with this meal! It's like an addictive popcorn, except it doesn't pop.
I couldn't wait to eat it! Had to pause for a quick picture!
We also learned that Ceviche HAS to be eaten with the national beverage, Inca Kola. I'd agree- it compliment's Ceviche perfectly!
They cook up sweet potatoes to go on the side, as well as corn.
The final product! It was a delicious success! Can't wait to eat it again!
