Spanish colonists have had a major influence on South American cuisine. In this way they also laid the foundation for ceviche (pronounced: seevietsjee). Most people know ceviche as a Peruvian recipe with raw fish as the main ingredient. The Ecuadorian version is just a little bit different. In this family recipe from Daniel, we have chosen to briefly cook the fresh fish in water with coriander and lime juice. In Ecuador it is common to serve it with banana chips, popcorn, nuts or corn. But it is also delicious as a soup!

Typical of the cuisine in Ecuador are the sometimes strange ingredients in traditional Ecuadorian dishes. Daniel tells you more about how this came about.
