Ceviche is a dish eaten in several South American countries, particularly Peru.
The term ceviche is believed to have come from the Quechua word siwichi, which means soft or fresh fish, although there are a number of theories about the term’s origins.
Traditional Peruvian ceviche is made with fresh fish or seafood, lemon and lime, onion, hot chili pepper and fresh cilantro.
The acidity of the lemon juice “cooks” the raw fish or seafood. Although the classic recipe is prepared this way, not all ceviches are made using raw fish or seafood.
A highly recommended, tasty and easy alternative is octopus ceviche. All ceviches call for high-quality products, which is why el Rey del Pulpo precooked octopus is just the right thing for octopus ceviche.
