Miraflores classic-style white-fish ceviche — recipe for 4 servings
Miraflores is a Lima neighbourhood, and ceviche is firmly part of the broader Lima repertoire. This classic-style home version uses the familiar pairing of raw white fish, lime, red onion and ají, not a separate local invention.
Corvina is cut just before dressing and mixed without pressure; that helps the cubes retain neat edges. Corn and sweet potato temper the chili and acidity without being stirred into the raw fish.
The description “classic-style” refers to the ingredient pattern and simple handling. It does not imply a uniquely authorized Miraflores recipe or an unchanged historic formula.
In Miraflores classic-style white-fish ceviche, the fish is served raw, so raw-service suitability must be established before preparation. Keep it cold, prevent contact with utensils used for cooked foods, and prepare sweet potato and choclo kernels first so the citrus dressing touches the fish only at the end. Lime alters flavour and texture but cannot be relied upon to destroy pathogens.
