Tiradito

Name: Tiradito
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian)
Ingredients: 500 g Very fresh white fish — sea bass, sole or bream — skinned fillet; 10 Limes, juiced; 2 tbsp Ají amarillo paste; 1 Ají limo, deseeded and chopped; 1 Garlic clove; 2 cm Ginger; 1 Celery stick, chopped; 4 Ice cubes; 1 tsp Salt; 1 Sweet potato, boiled and sliced; 1 cup Corn kernels, boiled; 2 tbsp Coriander leaves

Raw fish sliced like sashimi, laid in a fan and sauced only at the moment it goes to the table — an ají amarillo and lime leche de tigre poured over, sweet potato and corn alongside. Ceviche cut by a Japanese hand: sliced not cubed, sauced not marinated, so the fish is still raw when you eat it.

Peru · ceviche cut by a Japanese hand — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms tiradito as a Peruvian dish of raw fish cut in the shape of sashimi in a spicy sauce, reflecting the influence of Japanese immigrants on Peruvian cuisine, differing from ceviche in that it is sliced rather than cubed and sauced immediately before service rather than marinated beforehand, with some authors stating it contains no onion, and commonly garnished with sweet potato and boiled corn. The leche de tigre recipe, timings and quantities are this book's own.

Zubereitung

Leche de tigre: blend the lime juice, ají amarillo paste, garlic, ginger, celery, salt, a small piece of the fish and the ice until smooth and pale. Strain and keep in the fridge.
Slice the fish across the grain into pieces 3 mm thick and about 5 cm long, holding the knife at an angle — sashimi slices, not cubes.
💡 Sliced, not cubed — that single knife difference is what separates tiradito from ceviche.
Fan the slices over a chilled plate in a single overlapping layer. Do this up to an hour ahead and keep covered in the fridge.
At the table and not before, pour the cold leche de tigre over so it just covers the fish. Scatter the ají limo and coriander, set the sweet potato and corn at the edge.
💡 Sauce at the last second. Leave it sitting and the lime starts curing the fish and you have made a poorly cut ceviche instead.
Eat immediately, within about five minutes.

💡 Tipps

Tiradito nikkei adds soy and a drop of sesame oil; tiradito al olivo uses a black-olive cream instead of the yellow chilli. The cut and the last-second saucing stay the same.
Some cooks leave onion out of tiradito entirely; the sharpness is meant to come from the lime and the chilli, not the onion.
