How to make Seviche at home
In this video, The Culinary Institute of America's Michael Garnero, associate professor in culinary arts, shows us how to make classic seviche, Peru 's national dish. Seviche (also spelled "ceviche" and "cebiche") originated with the Incan empire in what is now Peru and Ecuador and is popular all over Latin America. Seviche can be made with all sorts of raw fish and seafood, which is "cooked" by marinating it in citrus juice until it becomes opaque. Onions, tomatoes, and chiles also commonly go into the mix. It's essential to get the freshest "sushi grade" seafood available when making seviche, both for the best flavor and for safety's sake.
