      To join the #FishChallenge, I decided to present a proposal that unites the technique of my sister country, Peru, with the richness of the product of my homeland, Ecuador.

      Following the techniques learned in the Introduction to Peruvian Cuisine course by chef Ignacio Barrios, I prepared this version of ceviche using sole as the protagonist, a spectacular fish that I got directly from the beach of Crucita (Portoviejo, Manabí) thanks to the artisanal fishermen of the area.

      🔪 The dish and its technique:

      • The Fish: Sole very fresh. I took full advantage of the bones to make a concentrated sauce and intensify the flavor of the leche de tigre.

      • The Spiciness: Instead of the Peruvian aji limo or yellow chili, I used our authentic aji mouse manabita (that small and round one). It brings a spectacular aroma and spiciness that gives the true identity of the Ecuadorian coast to the dish.

      • Los Maíces: For the game of textures, I included a double tribute to corn. On the one hand, the inevitable corn of tender and generous grain, and on the other hand, I replaced the classic Peruvian canchita for our traditional toasted corn, an icon that is consumed with passion in the Ecuadorian Andes region.

      • The Accompaniment: I completed the dish with sweet potato. Curiously, Manabí is a great producer and exporter of sweet potato, although locally it is not consumed in excess; I wanted to vindicate its value in this recipe.

      I had the opportunity to try ceviche in Peru and fell in love with it, so I wanted to replicate that experience by proudly adapting it to the ingredients I have at my disposal. I hope you like it as much as I do preparing it!

        ¡Gran propuesta, Chef! Hay una lectura muy bonita del territorio: lenguado fresco, leche de tigre con fondo de espinas, ají ratón y maíces ecuatorianos. El plato comunica identidad y técnica
