Peruvian Ceviche - recipe

The Peruvian fish Ceviche is a traditional dish par excellence in the Peru. Peruvians consider him our flag dish and we are particularly proud of it. In 2004, the National Institute of culture (INC) told the Ceviche Cultural Heritage by their importance within the Peruvian cuisine and which is outside the borders of the Peru. Since 2008 the Ceviche has its national day and is celebrated every June 28.

The ceviche is a dish that is eaten not only in the Peru, but also in many countries of Latin America, such as: Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Puerto Rico. However many hypotheses agree that the original is the Peruvian Ceviche.
