Hints and tips
• Peruvian ceviche has roots in the Japanese immigration. This can be seen through the use of soy sauce in the dressing, also known as “leche de tigre”. In some other areas in the region ceviche is cured for a longer time in lime juice, in Peru the fish is quickly marinated before serving, the result is more similar to sashimi.
• Peruvian chillies can sometimes be found in specialty grocers; however they are rare. If you cannot find them, use another yellow or orange chilli.
• Ask your fishmonger for a sustainable sushi-grade fish for this dish.
• A smoother avocado purée can be obtained by pressing the avocado through a sieve.
Pisco Sour Method
1. Combine the pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker. Shake the mixture vigorously until the egg white is foamy. Add some ice to shaker and shake again very hard until well-chilled, approximately 10 seconds.
2. Strain into 2 chilled cocktail glasses or champagne coupes and add 2 drops of bitters on top of the foam.
