How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the cubed white fish

    Place the cubed white fish in a glass or ceramic bowl. Season with salt and minced garlic.

  2. Pour the fresh lime juice

    Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish until it is completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the fish turns opaque and firm. Do not over-cure or the texture will become rubbery.

    15 min

  3. Gently fold in the thinly sliced red onion, minced chili pepper

    Gently fold in the thinly sliced red onion, minced chili pepper, and chopped cilantro.

  4. Taste and adjust salt if necessary

    Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Serve immediately in chilled bowls while still at approximately 40°F (4°C).

A little kitchen wisdom

Always use the freshest sushi-grade fish available. For a traditional Peruvian style, serve with boiled sweet potato and toasted corn kernels (chulpe).

Best served immediately after the 15-minute cure; do not store overnight as the acid will overcook the fish.
