THE SECRET TO PERFECT CEVICHE: TIPS FROM OUR KITCHEN

Ceviche is more than a dish—it’s a celebration of fresh ingredients and bold flavors that represent the heart of Peruvian cuisine. At Don Julio Restaurant Group, we’ve mastered the art of this classic dish, and today we’re sharing our insider tips to help you prepare the perfect ceviche at home.

What You’ll Need

• Fresh Fish: Opt for a firm, white fish like sea bass or snapper. Freshness is key!
• Citrus Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for that signature tangy flavor.
• Aji Amarillo: This Peruvian chili adds a touch of spice and depth to your ceviche.
• Red Onion: Thinly sliced for a crisp texture and mild sweetness.
• Cilantro: Fresh and finely chopped to brighten up the dish.

Chef’s Tips for Success

• Quality Matters: Always use the freshest ingredients, especially fish, to ensure the best flavor and texture.
• Marination Time: Let the fish marinate in lime juice for no more than 10-15 minutes. This keeps the texture firm and prevents overcooking in the citrus.
• Balance the Heat: Adjust the amount of aji amarillo to suit your spice tolerance, but don’t skip it—it’s a game changer!
