Ceviche
Pour the leche de tigre over the sea bass cubes and mix well. Let this covered marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so that the fish can ‘cook’ in the sour leche de tigre. Scoup the ceviche in the bowls and divide the watermelon radish slices, Aji Amarillo rings, spring onion rings, coriander and mint leaves and the pomegranate seeds on top. Pour some leftover leche de tigre over it and add some coconut milk. Serve with tortilla chips.

Pomegranate
The pomegranate looks like a large, pinkish-red apple with a leathery skin. When you break or cut the pomegranate, you will see the countless red seeds. These seeds taste sweet and slightly sour and have a wonderful crunchy bite. They are therefore often used as a topping for yogurt and salads.

Aji Amarillo
The Aji Amarillo is an orange, fruity and aromatic chili pepper from Peru, which is similar in taste to paprika or a madame jaenette, but a lot less spicy. The Peruvian aji (chili peppers) along with onion and garlic are an integral part of the “holy-trinity” of the Peruvian cuisine.
