Description
Peruvian ceviche making involves marinating raw fish in citrus juices to create a tender texture.
Technical
The acidity in citrus juices denatures proteins, making the fish tender and safe to eat. The ideal temperature and marinating time are crucial to avoid over- or under-marinating, which can result in a mushy or raw texture.
