• khẩu phần: 4 servings

Nguyên liệu

2 pounds firm white fish (tilapia, haddock, pollack, halibut, flounder)

14 limes, juiced

8 sprigs of cilantro (leaves only), chopped* *save stems of cilantro for leche de tigre, if making.

2 medium sized red onions, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon garlic paste (or 3 cloves, smashed)

2 limo peppers (deveined, deseeded), finely sliced (can be found frozen)

Salt and pepper to taste

For decoration/plating:

2 sweet potatoes, boiled (with 1 stick cinnamon, 3 cloves and one orange halved with juice

1 cup cancha (chullpi corn), toasted

1 cup choclo (Peruvian corn can be found frozen and in kernels), cooked

4 small romaine lettuce leaves

Sarsa criolla (preparation below)

Hướng dẫn

Cut fish into small bit-sized pieces and place in a bowl large enough to hold fish and other ingredients. If you have leftover irregular shaped pieces, you can save this to make leche de tigre (see recipe).

Add salt, bit of pepper, and garlic paste and allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

While fish is marinating, wash and rinse sliced red onions 3 times to rid it of its bitterness. Drain and rest.

Remove skin from boiled sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2 inch rounds.

For sarsa criolla: take a bit of the sliced onion and add salt to taste, lime juice, a bit of cilantro and limo peppers, Mix and let sit for plating.

Once all your components are ready, add enough lime juice to fish to just cover.

Add a couple of handfuls of sliced onion, a heaping tablespoon of cilantro, and sliced limo peppers to taste.

Mix ingredients together and adjust seasoning if necessary.

For plating you can serve in one large dish and allow people to serve themselves, you can serve individual plates, or you can even serve in a wine glass. Photos below, in their respective order.

Each plate should have the two types of corn and the sweet potato served with it or these can be served in individual dishes on the table as well. Use lettuce as a garnish to brighten up the composition.

When served in a glass, dice sweet potatoes up and place on top with a few kernels of choclo (corn).

Ghi chú

American sweet corn can be used in place of choclo, if necessary or desired (as pictured earlier).

Sides to add a different crunch like fried plantain chips, called chifles. The options, today, are endless.
