Conch Ceviche
Ceviche, comprised of raw seafood marinated in a citrus-based sauce, is a dish native to the Viceroyalty of Peru, a colonial district of Spain that was in effect from the 16th to the 18th century and covered many of the countries within modern-day South America. As both Chile and Peru were once governed by the Viceroyalty of Peru, both countries claim to be the original homes of ceviche. Try this tasty recipe and let me know your thoughts.
