Ceviche with Lemongrass

Chef Carmelo
Although the origins of ceviche are widely disputed, it is widely attributed to Peru, where it is considered a part of the national heritage. This version brings together the flavors of Southeast Asia with the classic technique of Central and South America to marinate raw fish in citrus juice.
Lemongrass and citrus kaffir lime leaves give this ceviche a distinctly Thai flavor, and the fish sauce adds salt and enough umami to make even the mildest of tasty fish. With crispy slices of red onion, chili peppers and a pinch of palm sugar, this ceviche strikes a nice balance between the five flavors.
