Peruvian Ceviche with Leche de Tigre

5 / 5 (3 reviews)

This Peruvian Ceviche with Leche de Tigre is made with white fish, habanero pepper, red onion, ginger, garlic, and lots of lime. It is very important for the fish to be extremely fresh for this recipe. If the fish has previously been frozen, I would not recommend making this ceviche. Research where your local fish markets are – it is worth it! For this recipe you can use Mahi Mahi, Halibut, Corvina, Sea Bass and most other white fish.

Chef's Notes




The reason you let the onion soak in water is to make it less potent. You don’t want such a strong onion for this ceviche or it will overpower it.
If there are skin and bones on the fish, remove.

Alexa ★ 5.0/5

I love leche de Tigre, but have only eaten it while dining out. Decided to try to make this recipe at home, and it was a hit! So easy and tasted fresh and delicious.
