This recipe was inspired by chef Gustavo Arana Dagnino of Warike Restobar in Santa Rosa, California. Peruvian ceviche, also known as tiradito, differs from Mexican ceviche in that it uses a marinade called tiger’s milk, made with the super-hot ají limo chile. The fish also spends a shorter amount of time marinating in this version of ceviche. Look for ají limo chile paste and the Peruvian garnishes in Latino markets or online. Be sure to use sashimi-grade white-fleshed fish.
