Ceviche: A Journey to Its Origins
Originating from the coasts of Latin America, ceviche has its roots in ancient marinating techniques employed by fishing communities. Over time, this practice evolved, giving rise to the diverse recipes we know today.
The Magic of Marination
The essence of ceviche lies in the marinade, where raw fish meets citrus fruits like lemon or lime, creating a chemical reaction that “cooks” the meat, transforming it into a delicious mix of textures and flavors. The addition of fresh ingredients such as tomato, onion, cilantro, and avocado complements this symphony of flavors.
