Leo esta receta de ceviche y aunque es muy diferente al que hacemos aquà en Perú (no lleva ni pimienta ni aceite); me lo imagino delicioso. Haré la prueba a ver que tal. ¡Ah! Me olvidaba, por cierto, el ajà limo es oriundo de aquà de Perú; y, efectivamente, le da un aroma y sabor caracterÃstico al ceviche.
Hola Zofia,
¡Acá en Nueva York nos encanta el ceviche! Me entrené en uno de los mejores restaurantes de la ciudad y del mundo y su versión me inspiró.
No puedo esperar para visitar su paÃs y aprender más de la comida peruana.
Gracias por escribir.
Un abrazo.
