Ceviche is the typical Peruvian dish, which consists of raw fish or seafood marinated in lemon juice, garlic, onion, cilantro and chili peppers. It is usually accompanied with sweet potato, corn and lettuce.The history of ceviche dates back to pre-Columbian times, when ancient Peruvians consumed raw fish with salt and chili. With the arrival of the Spanish, lemon was introduced, which gave it an acidic touch and helped cook the fish. From this marinade, the milky juice (tiger's milk) released by the fish was obtained. Later, accessories such as sweet potato, onion, corn, lettuce and chopped parsley, yuyo or seaweed were added to the dish, with which the ceviche adopted an identity that distinguishes it as an authentically Peruvian stew.
