<![endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Although Peruvian cuisine is largely known for seafood this dish is an underrated star of our cuisine. Aji de gallina, literally translated as 'pepper of hen' is an awesome and unique Peruvian dish. I am unaware of anything like it. For this reason, I have researched the history of this dish but only found very little that is consistent aside from the fact that it is of Peruvian origin. One of the most interesting origin stories I encountered was that during French revolution many chefs that cooked for the French royalty fled France for the Americas, often to wealthy colonial families. One such chef, while working for a family in Lima, concocted this delicious dish. Growing up when I was a little kid in Peru this was my absolute favorite dish and I am excited to share how to make aji de gallina (pronounced ahee de gayina). I hope our friend Brian, who was very anxious for this recipe, will appreciate it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I should mention that while this dish requires several steps it is straight forward to have these going on parallel (such as the boiling, chopping, shredding at the same time). Accordingly, the sequence of steps presented here allows for an efficient use of time. I suggest reading through them before starting to get a sense of how the multi-tasking will take place. Enjoy. </span></div>

by hand or use a handy garlic press . If mincing by hand, peel the clove, then
press down firmly on each clove with the side of your knife to flatten the
clove. Then, finely chop the cloves. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Step 3: By this time the chicken should be almost done or finished boiling. Once cooked, remove chicken from
broth and place it in either clean cutting board or plate so that it gets cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, after having removed the chicken, drain the pot, setting aside the broth in
which the chicken was boiled to use for later.</span></div>

the emptied pot in which the chicken cooked on high for 15 seconds and then add
¼ cup vegetable oil and onion and heat over medium high heat. By adding the
onion in at the same time as the oil, you avoid splashing yourself with hot oil
later. Once the onion starts to sweat (around 5 minutes), add 4 cloves of
minced garlic and reduce heat to medium.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Heat
the onion and garlic over medium heat, and stir periodically with a wooden or
plastic spoon so as not to scratch the bottom of the pan. </span>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Step 5: By
this time, the chicken should be cool enough to handle, so you can begin
shredding the chicken. Personally, I shred the chicken by hand into medium
sized pieces. Another way to do this is with two forks, but I find that using
my hands is quicker.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> A
trick I sometimes use to make shredding the chicken easier is, instead of boiling the chicken,
to use a pressure cooker to cook the chicken to the point where it starts to
fall apart. With the chicken cooked to that extent, you hardly have to shred it
on your own. Be careful not to overcook in the pressure cooker though!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Step 6: About
a third of the way through the shredding, you should check in on the onion and
garlic and stir. Also at this point, pour in 3 tbs of aji amarillo (Peruvian yellow pepper) paste. Keep
in mind this pepper is very hot, but part of the flavor profile of this
dish is that it is supposed to be spicy. The aji amarillo (yellow pepper) is also what gives
this dish its vibrant yellow color. The reason you add in the yellow pepper
at this point is to let it cook and release the essential oils so that the
flavors can meld together. As you continue to shred the chicken, make sure you
periodically check in on the onion, garlic, and aji amarrillo saute.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Step 10: Immediately after you throw the crumbs in, add in 4 cups of whole milk
little by little and stir thoroughly. (You could also use evaporated milk or a combination of
evaporated and whole milk. From experience, I do not recommend using reduced
fat or skim milk, as it will not result in a creamy final dish). </span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Step 11: Let the
mixture heat to a low boil. Once at a low boil, add 1 ½ cup of grated parmesan
cheese and stir thoroughly. Use this instead of hard, shredded parmesan cheese,
as it will blend better. Also at this point add ¼ tsp ground black pepper and (optionally) add ¼ cup crushed walnuts or almonds. Stir thoroughly. Reduce
heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes (or longer, if you wish), stirring
periodically so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan. The
idea here is that the mixture needs to cook together so that all of the different
ingredients blend together for a unified dish. You’ll know it’s done when the
parmesan, onions, crumbs, and milk have become one thick, creamy sauce. </span></div>

12a: While the creamy mixture of chicken is simmering, peel the potatoes (with vegetable peeler works best) and place
peeled potatoes and eggs in water in a medium saucepan. Add room temperature water and boil for 10-15
minutes until the potatoes are tender. NOTE: it is critical that you do not overcook the russet potatoes since they will fall apart. As soon as the potatoes begin to feel tender almost to the center turn off the burner since they will continue to cook once removed from the heat. To test for the tenderness I usually poke them with wooden skewer. When in a bind I will use a fork. After the burner turned off carefully drain the hot water and fill the sauce pan with cool water from the sink to allow the eggs and potatoes to cool. Once cooled enough to handle, cut the potatoes into about 1/4 inch rings and peel eggs and cut into quarters. </span></div>

on the broth that you use, you may want to add some extra salt at this point(to taste). Now you are ready to assemble the dish! First begin by placing a bout 1/2 a cup of rice on a plate along with 2-4 rings of potato (depending on size of rings). </span></div>

What is Orzo?<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRkO-CcDk9BWGTfbIShaNHt237DtVgPcciWZvAVUJ5J6u2d-gjsypHLnCeQNtknjzryveEMTBzQye0zKitln16voEnKBc_vUsRRzC4SDMWzJ0o-MZOrbYAvwLr7FSWQS6_ReAd06yE1mU/s1600/orzo+picture+jostage+kitchen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRkO-CcDk9BWGTfbIShaNHt237DtVgPcciWZvAVUJ5J6u2d-gjsypHLnCeQNtknjzryveEMTBzQye0zKitln16voEnKBc_vUsRRzC4SDMWzJ0o-MZOrbYAvwLr7FSWQS6_ReAd06yE1mU/s200/orzo+picture+jostage+kitchen.JPG" width="200" /></a>Until recently, I didn't even know what it was. It is a rice-shaped pasta, similar to risotto. The way I'll be making this dish is through having the orzo soak up the "broth" that it cooks in, giving it a thick texture and rich flavor. This is a recipe that, to my knowledge, I have invented, with inspiration from Mediterranean cooking. It has been a favorite of mine, and several guests have enjoyed it as well. I hope you will too!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
1 1/2 cups orzo<br />
3 cups water <br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1/2 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter<br />
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste<br />
Dash of cinnamon<br />
1/2 tbsp lime juice<br />
<br />
Step 1: In a medium sized sauce pan, pour in 1 1/2 cups orzo, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1 tsp salt. Turn burner onto high. Stir orzo around as it begins to heat up. As pot heats up, add in the butter. This will give the dish its creaminess. Continue to stir pot's contents with a wooden spoon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrPPFsghxczVDEOiyq14lFkXWy2U6Nttd2uYGXPvXMW3LZrwMpNs9lcsGVoTkfYSOS2aAfrx-PB3w1kuQuh-2k8_A_lxJfFgI9Gk60RMAJ7-c-Kg572AgMlWg1h4orRBJ7T7nQvoyqNr3/s1600/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+cooking+ste+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrPPFsghxczVDEOiyq14lFkXWy2U6Nttd2uYGXPvXMW3LZrwMpNs9lcsGVoTkfYSOS2aAfrx-PB3w1kuQuh-2k8_A_lxJfFgI9Gk60RMAJ7-c-Kg572AgMlWg1h4orRBJ7T7nQvoyqNr3/s320/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+cooking+ste+2.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Another cooking tool that I use a lot is a wooden spoon. This dish requires a lot of stirring, and as such it's good to have a wooden spoon handy. Metal spoons, while they have their place, are not good for this kind of dish, as they may scratch your pot, which over time and repeated scratching causes food to stick to the pan/pot, and often burn. <br />
<br />
Step 2: When the water starts to boil, turn the heat to medium. At this same time, add in 1 tbsp of tomato paste. Continue to stir-if not, the orzo may begin to stick to the bottom of the pot (even if you've been using a wooden spoon all along!). If the orzo sticks repeatedly, I lower the heat even further, while continuing to stir. It's also important to stir continuously at this stage to break the tomato paste up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZtowMndKZmqNM_ejesnUkJmRaFe0CTIOYFbzizGE8sh30wkoxgcKGBC_xG_agf69-WljAXWCoQol3dpWo-S348-hKIedPZr7OkH0hueUCGEfahi4nAe3zMvpoQMhv2x9ct3pJURnp4Y5/s1600/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+adding+tomato+paste.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZtowMndKZmqNM_ejesnUkJmRaFe0CTIOYFbzizGE8sh30wkoxgcKGBC_xG_agf69-WljAXWCoQol3dpWo-S348-hKIedPZr7OkH0hueUCGEfahi4nAe3zMvpoQMhv2x9ct3pJURnp4Y5/s320/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+adding+tomato+paste.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 3: Once the tomato paste has broken up, turn heat to low and add in the remaining 1/2 tbsp of tomato paste. At this point, I also often add in another 1/4 of water if the orzo is getting too thick. It's a fine balance-you don't want too add too much water at the beginning, so the orzo doesn't get too watery. I usually start out with the 2 1/4 cups of water (as discussed in step one) and then gradually add more water (up to an additional 3/4 cup) to get the orzo to my desired thickness. I also add in a dash of cinnamon once the second addition of tomato paste has broken up. The cinnamon really gives this dish a very special and distinct flavor. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAywBk8s4l6fxYwO5xrvEFDDfDwfxvPPhKRskJNgzxaQDVFaelHNLm4D_l4EvSrN0Dd8z_PFnzUmme1mUdmzycG1iTo-Q4Vpow1Pmql44p7qTN1S9ztYXGUvHqmFJqSEzRDMt_JcQ574bq/s1600/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+stirring.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAywBk8s4l6fxYwO5xrvEFDDfDwfxvPPhKRskJNgzxaQDVFaelHNLm4D_l4EvSrN0Dd8z_PFnzUmme1mUdmzycG1iTo-Q4Vpow1Pmql44p7qTN1S9ztYXGUvHqmFJqSEzRDMt_JcQ574bq/s320/easy+orzo+recipe+jostage+kitchen+stirring.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 4: After about 10-12 minutes, take a taste and determine whether the orzo is cooked to your liking. I like orzo, and all of my pasta, al dente, so I'm careful not to over cook. I like my food to have a bit of acidity, so at this stage, I also add in 1/2 tbsp of lime juice-you can either use bottled lime juice or juice from 1/2 lime. Continue to cook on low heat until orzo is at your desired consistency.<br />

We fell in love with this type of chicken when we went to New Orleans at <a href="http://www.chefpaul.com/site297.php">K-Paul's Kitchen</a>. I actually had blackened drum (a bayou fish) , but the techniques and flavor profiles transfer very well to chicken.This is a very simple recipe and quick to make. This recipe feed 4-5 people. <br />
<br />
<u>Recipe Ingredients</u><br />
1 1/4 lbs of chicken tenderloins<br />
4 tsp paprika<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (1/4 to make it hot)<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp dried thyme<br />
1/2 tsp black pepper<br />
1/2 tsp onion powder<br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u>Preparation </u><br />
Step 1: Combine paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, thyme, pepper and onion into small bowl. Before adding the thyme, crush it a bit with your fingers. This helps to break up some of the leaves and releases the flavor. Mix all ingredients with a fork. Pour blackening mix into container into which you can coat chicken.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Place chicken into container with blackening mix. We're using previously frozen chicken that we defrosted under cold water. You can also defrost in the microwave to speed up the process, or of course, non-frozen chicken. If you do use previously frozen chicken, make sure that it has been thoroughly defrosted, otherwise the blackening seasoning will not stick well to the chicken.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Step 3: Move chicken around in blackening mix until it is well-coated.You will notice that the paprika sticks to the chicken exceptionally well, while getting the other elements of the mix (particularly the thyme) to stick might take a bit more effort.<br />

<br />
Step 4: Coat the frying pan with vegetable oil-just enough to coat the bottom of the pan, any more and it will take the blackening mix off of your chicken. Tilt the pan to make sure the little amount of oil that you use covers the whole bottom. We use vegetable oil, rather than olive oil, because vegetable oil has a very mild flavor that won't distract your taste buds from the key element of this dish: the blackening seasoning.<br />
<br />
Step 5: Once the oil has heated up, drop the chicken tenderloins into the pan. At first, leave the pan on high so that the chicken "blackens"... the paprika caramelizes and literally "blackens" during this process. Let one side of the chicken cook on high for two minutes, and then flip. Let the other side cook on high for two minutes. Flip again and turn the heat to medium. After approximately four more minutes, the chicken should be done. You can tell whether the chicken is done by its firmness. Poke at it, and the softer it is, the more raw it is inside. Of course, you don't want it to be "too" firm, because then it is probably overcooked and dry. Figuring out the right "firmness" takes time. In you're still learning, you can always cut into a piece of the chicken-if it is white all the way through, then it is safe to eat.<br />

The recipe presented here is influenced by Peru’s “adobo” chicken and feeds 6. This chicken is delicious and works really well for barbecues but here I am cooking it on the frying pan. Below is a serving suggestion with white rice (<a href="http://jostagekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-cook-rice-stove-top.html">see our rice recipe</a>) and greens with simple dressing (<a href="http://jostagekitchen.blogspot.com/2010/04/simple-salad-dressing.html">see our dressing recipe</a>)<br />

Preparation<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any marinade includes these four basic elements: salt, an acid (such as vinegar or lemon juice), an oil, and hot pepper paste. The salt forces the chicken to absorb the flavors of the three other elements; the sour element softens the meat; the oil gives the meat richness and ensures that it does not dry out when it is cooked; and the pepper adds spiciness and gives the marinate ‘body’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<o:p></o:p>Step 1: Place chicken in marinating bowl. I suggest using tongs (see my essential kitchen tools) to do this so that you dont have to keep washing your hands. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 2: Cut onion into eighths and place into bowl with chicken. It helps to have large chunks of onion not only to flavor the marinade, but to cook with the chicken later on.</div>

Step 5: Mix together all ingredients in the bowl with tongs. Break onions up a bit and ensure that all the chicken and onions are semi-submerged (If you are using the tomato paste substitute for the pepper paste stir extra to make sure the tomato paste dissolves entirely!).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 6: Let chicken marinade for 10-15 minutes. </div>
<br />
Step 7: After letting the chicken soak in marinade we are ready to cook. Coat frying pan with approx. ¾ tbs of oil. You dont want a lot of extra oil floating around-just enough to coat the bottom. Then let the pan heat up, on high heat.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 8: Once the oil becomes watery (about 2-3 minutes on a gas stove), you are ready to begin cooking the chicken. Don’t overheat the pan, as when you throw the chicken in, the hot oil may splash and burn you. To test whether the pan is hot enough, carefully place a piece of onion or a small piece of chicken into the pan, using tongs. If the chicken or onion is crackling in the oil, the pot is hot enough-go ahead and place a few pieces of chicken into the pan-as you move the chicken from the marinade, shake the chicken a bit to remove excess marinade. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 9: Flip chicken over every 1-2 minutes. As you cook the chicken, there will be some marinade in the pan, let the chicken cook on high in that marinade. The marinade will reduce (become thicker) as the chicken cooks. As the marinade reduces, it will begin to splatter-once that happens, turn the heat from high to medium. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 10: After 5-7 minutes, when the chicken is nearly done and the marinade has reduced substantially, return heat to high and cook for 45 seconds on each side-this will help caramelize the outside of the chicken and onion for extra flavor. During this process, the chicken and onions will become slightly browned. With the heat on high, you will also want to make sure that nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan-a constant problem when the heat is on high and the sauce has reduced. In total, the chicken will take about 10 minutes to cook.</div>

The recipe below should take about 20 minutes and serve 6.<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups rice<br />
3 cups water <br />
1 tbs oil<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
<br />
Step 1: Pour rice, water, oil and salt into medium sized sauce pan. Do not stir ingredients together. Place lid on pot. It is essential that you use a pot that also has a tight-fitting lid. Once the lid is on, *DO NOT LIFT THE LID UNTIL THE RICE IS DONE*-this is an instance where you really need to “set it and forget it.” Don’t peek in, don’t stir the rice around, nothing, leave the rice alone!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2G1H0luHW3KdYqv_nw5h18AGu925hB5jWzfARtF3UU6KT7ee82dDvfGYEioJuWqihBoLYRVBsDEK53PVAGLcARm-_MpxCtDnq6iFi8TPZjmbMPOrk77kKrCSDBejm13-xahYr6_RmM0PV/s1600/024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2G1H0luHW3KdYqv_nw5h18AGu925hB5jWzfARtF3UU6KT7ee82dDvfGYEioJuWqihBoLYRVBsDEK53PVAGLcARm-_MpxCtDnq6iFi8TPZjmbMPOrk77kKrCSDBejm13-xahYr6_RmM0PV/s320/024.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Step 2: With the lid on, turn stove onto high.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiziIpNosM-S9QWNnQwoyM7KXF9bqx20MgA0EJ4t2XECKifPegG-rmelu7-LhXcYUq1CF-ENqHHjLDpY5-GTbyRftsRqGy0DXU77a8WIaQLjdxOuX9B5ueHCZNDOJ_oMP73KlA0f6EVbLK/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiziIpNosM-S9QWNnQwoyM7KXF9bqx20MgA0EJ4t2XECKifPegG-rmelu7-LhXcYUq1CF-ENqHHjLDpY5-GTbyRftsRqGy0DXU77a8WIaQLjdxOuX9B5ueHCZNDOJ_oMP73KlA0f6EVbLK/s320/031.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Step 3: Wait for water to boil-you’ll know it’s boiling when you see bubbles or a bit of foam starting to rattle the lid. On my gas stove using 3 cups of water, it takes about 4 minutes. Electric stoves will take a bit longer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftyT4YydQNpAsVcmbM-ypCakdiJPKiF0tzZpNC8gXPyPbTZpxSJw9La6NTDerD_qlOQZT3tiZoby0jsc7-ZS0P0tY03l-clD8_nnYh17UWRLU-1KYuRRiPQGZyTS3_lp5DGb9OjRaaCkP/s1600/034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftyT4YydQNpAsVcmbM-ypCakdiJPKiF0tzZpNC8gXPyPbTZpxSJw9La6NTDerD_qlOQZT3tiZoby0jsc7-ZS0P0tY03l-clD8_nnYh17UWRLU-1KYuRRiPQGZyTS3_lp5DGb9OjRaaCkP/s320/034.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Step 4: Once the water is boiling, turn heat to low (if using electric stove it's best to move the pot onto another burner that is set to low--the burner on high may take too long to cool off).<br />
<br />
Step 5: About 10 minutes after you have turned the heat to low, turn the heat off. <br />
<br />
Step 6: In about 6 more minutes, the rice is ready! <br />

If you are looking for healthy food you have come to the right place. In this entry we will show you how to make Peruvian ceviche with ingredients found in the US.Ceviche is basically Peru's national dish. There are many recipes for Ceviches but here I am laying out a simple recipe that is mostly used in Peru's north coast. "Ceviche Limeño", or Lima ceviche, for example, tends to have additional ingredients such as garlic, a bit of oil, and finely chopped celery. If you have never eaten ceviche, it is very similar to sushi or more specifically sashimi. In fact I have at times been to Japanese restaurants where they serve yellow tail sashimi over a bit of lime juice and with topped with jalapeno slices. It tasted very very similar to peruvian ceviche's not-so-distant cousing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tiradito.JPG">tiradito</a>. My point is if you like sushi and sashimi you will also probably like ceviche.<br />
<br />
Here I am adapting the recipe so that it can be prepared from ingredients found at most grocery stores. Take note that even though the fish is briefly cured and marinated in lime juice, it is still raw fish and carries with it similar risks to what you find with other raw food such as sushi, etc. That being said, I eat this all the time and never get sick, so without further ado, here's the recipe. </div>

<u>How to Prepare Peruvian Ceviche (Simple Recipe)</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’re starting off with 1 lb of flash frozen tilapia that was defrosted by placing it under running cold water. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 1- Slice tilapia filet in half so you have about a 1 inch wide strip of fish </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 2- Slice the strip of tilapia into bite-size pieces. Slice at an angle so as to maximize surface area. For best results, tilt the knife, rather than having it perpendicular to your cutting board.</div>

Step 3- Place fish into a container, flatten out as much as possible and expose as much of the fish as possible. Distribute 1 tbs. of salt evenly over the fish. Move fish around with a spoon so as to coat all sides with salt. Once finished, add an additional ½ tsp on top and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes. The reason for salting the fish is to dehydrate it as much as possible so that it can soak up the lime juice that we will add later on. </div>

Step4- Squeeze enough limes to make about ½ a cup of juice. It is best to use key limes, when possible. Key limes are smaller than regular limes and have a tarter flavor. Key limes most closely approximate the type of limes that are found in Peru. Since there are so many limes to squeeze, we recommend using a lime squeezer such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Citrus-Juice-Press/dp/B0002IBOAK?ie=UTF8&tag=theimprovisat-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">this one</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theimprovisat-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0002IBOAK" height="1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-International-GT-3949-Lemon-Squeezer/dp/B000FD7EDI?ie=UTF8&tag=theimprovisat-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">this one</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theimprovisat-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000FD7EDI" height="1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> to expedite the process (it will also catch most of the seeds). I use the more expensive stainless steel squeezer, and it works out great for me. The limes will release more juice when they are at room temperature-so either plan ahead and leave them out at room temperature for about a half hour, or put in the microwave for a few seconds. While squeezing the limes can be a pain, it is worth it! Lime juice from a bottle will NOT work.</div>

Step 8- Prepare the hot pepper. A word of caution: since these are very hot, either use gloves while cutting it or wash your hands very thoroughly after slicing and refrain from touching your eyes for at least a couple hours afterwards...this stuff burns! To slice the pepper, first remove seeds from inside and then cut into thin strips, and finally, cut those strips into minuscule pieces.<br />
Although you can use jalapeno or something else I am using a Peruvian yellow pepper called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aji_pepper">aji amarillo</a>". I found them whole in brine at my supermarket but if you feel lazy and still want to have this pepper's unique flavor you can often find the paste at supermarkets or order it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Aji-Amarillo-Pepper-Sauce/dp/B003D0MP3O?ie=UTF8&tag=jostagekitche-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">here</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jostagekitche-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003D0MP3O" height="1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pasta-Amarillo-Yellow-Pepper-Paste/dp/B001QQ9RW4?ie=UTF8&tag=jostagekitche-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">here</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jostagekitche-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001QQ9RW4" height="1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> with one click. Another Peruvian pepper which is often used is "<a href="http://www.blogger.com/">rocoto</a>" but I have found this is harder to come by in the US (although the rocoto paste isn't--find it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Incas-Food-Rocoto-Molido-Tienda/dp/B003CHOKCW?ie=UTF8&tag=jostagekitche-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">here</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jostagekitche-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003CHOKCW" height="1" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" />.)</div>

Step 9- After the fish has soaked in the lime juice for about 5 minutes, add to the fish the onions, cilantro and about 1/3 of the hot pepper that you have just chopped. Mix together. Add the rest of the lime juice. Then, taste to determine the level of spiciness. Gradually add more hot pepper until you arrive at your desired heat level. </div>

Step 10- Let the ceviche sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes. Then it is ready to eat. This is a step that differentiates Peruvian ceviche from other types. Letting it sit too long will cause the fish to lose its tenderness and make it over acidic. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Usually, we serve ceviche on single leaf of lettuce with a slice of corn and a slice sweet potato on the side. One of the best parts of ceviche is the "leche de tigre," or "tiger's milk," which is the juice left over on your plate from the ceviche. We usually eat that with a spoon or you can order a shot of it in Peruvian restaurants as a cure for hangovers. It is delicious. Enjoy!</div>
