About Ceviche Ecuatoriano
Layla Pujol presents her brother Ramón’s Ecuadorian fish ceviche, with citrus-marinated white fish, red onion, tomato and sweet pepper. This profile follows that family version and its optional garlic infusion.
Cilantro and citrus give the fish a bright herbal acidity. The chillies flavour the marinade, with additional ají offered for those who prefer more heat; oil rounds out the dressing.
The cubed fish and finely cut vegetables form a colourful, juicy mixture. Optional chifles provide a crisp accompaniment alongside the softer fish and vegetables.
