Hi there Ch's. Seeing as, when I asked what ceviche was and how it was made,
there was this deafening silence on the subject. So I decided to have a
scout around.
Cor! Did I get an education. What a super appetizer it is and no mistake. Of
Equadorian origin, Peruvian Inca's loved it and made it by the ton. Beloved
of all American Coast dwellers, who incorporate every type of shellfish into
it. I just had to learn more. Well I came up with some super recipes,
including.....wait for it.....Crab ceviche. Served with Orange Habenero
Sauce. Just imagine the Red Onion. Lemon. Cilantro. Etc. Already I am
drooling here. Tomato Shrimp Ceviche with Aji Chombo apparently a very hot
chile pepper. But please, what ever is Corvina? (must find out more about
that too). So now I know what a ceviche is. What a shame no one told me! Bet
it will not be long before I have a Crab Ceviche on my table resplendent in
its mantle of hot chile sauce. No Aji Chombo,(where do I get that?) so
wonder if the ubiquitous Thai Red will do? Hottest regards to all you Ch's.
