Bienvenidos a todos! Vamos a la playa! I'm back again to tell you something nice about Peru. This time we are going back to the coast of Peru. The recipe I want to share this time is perfect for summer. Peru has a 3080 km long coast where you can find beautiful beaches. Lima is the capital of Peru and is located right in the middle of the entire coastline. Nothing is better than eating a ceviche or a tiradito by the sea. Eating tiradito salmon is a real pleasure on the coast. Tiradito de pescado peruano. Peruvian tiradito
It is an important part of Peruvian food culture. That is why a tiradito recipe could not be missed. A little later in the blog I explain the difference between a ceviche and tiradito.
Life on the Coast of Lima
Miraflores is a coastal district in Lima that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The high modern buildings tower above the cliffs of the green coast. The beauty of this district is due to the care of the gardens that line the streets. And the proximity to the sea, which gives you a beautiful view over the Pacific Ocean.
The modernizing flow of the city allowed it to grow further south, focusing on Asia (Cañete), Paracas (Ica). The most beautiful beaches in Peru from north to south are Punta Sal, Mancora, Trujillo, Caballeros, Emabajadores, but with over 3000 km there are of course many more.
Punta Sal is one of my favorite beaches which I usually visit when I am in Peru. An incredible place where you feel completely connected to the marine life and above all you can enjoy a spectacular sunset.
Seafood on the coast
This time I share with you the recipe for a tiradito. This dish consists of thin strips of fish. It resembles sashimi and was influenced by Japanese immigrants in Peru. After a day of fishing, almost every Peruvian experiences the freshness by preparing a Ceviche or Tiradito directly along the beaches. I never went fishing myself, but we did get fishermen at our doorstep from our beach house with the catch of the day. That is ultimately a fantastic experience.
In Peru, a ceviche or tiradito is often prepared in the traditional way with white fish. There are several versions today that bring additional variations. The cut of the fish determines the name, ceviche are diced fish. Tiradito are thus thin slices that resemble sashimi. Today I share with you a version with salmon. Hopefully one day you will prepare it with swinging salsa music such as “Melao de caña” by Oscar de Leon.
Enjoy it!
