Notes

  • Do not use metal or plastic bowl for this dish. Citrus can react with metal and give your ceviche a bad taste. Same with plastic.
  • You can anjust the heat by adding more or less hot peppers. Also you can remove the seeds to make it taste milder.
  • Lemon is ok to use instead of lime
  • Try to use freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice in this recipe. Do not use the bottled one, ceviche will no taste the same.
  • To get the most juice out of lime, roll it on the table before cutting.
