How to make Peruvian Tollo Ceviche:

The first thing we will do to prepare the ceviche de tollo is to prepare all the ingredients. To do this, finely chop the garlic, chili peppers and cilantro, cut the onion into julienne strips and the yucca and corn must be parboiled.

Tip: Peruvian ceviche is not only made with tollo, you will not find this fish in all countries so you can substitute it for any other cartilage fish

With the ingredients already ready, we will begin to prepare the dish. First, remove the cartilage from the fish, then use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the fillets and cut the fish into approximately 2-centimeter cubes.

Then, soak all the pieces of fish in a bowl of salted water. Stir well so that the fish tacos bathe in the water and after a few seconds pass through a strainer and drain.

Once you have drained the tollo, place the fish in another source and mix with the ground garlic, pepper and lemon juice. Stir everything with a wooden spoon until they are completely impregnated. The citrus fruits of the lemon should act on the fish by cooking it, allow a few minutes until the tollo changes slightly in color, this will indicate that it is cooked. Then add salt and let it rest for about 3 minutes.

Then, pass the cut onions through the water with the help of a strainer and let it drain. Then add this together with the rest of the ingredients to the source and mix well. Serve the Peruvian ceviche de tollo with boiled yucca and a few grains of corn.
