How to prepare

This sea bass ceviche with authentic Peruvian tiger’s milk is easy to make and delicious as a starter!

Preparation

  • 2 Meanwhile, grate the mango half roughly and add the gratings to a bowl.
  • 3 For the tiger's milk, mix the root ginger, garlic, coriander and the lime juice in a bowl. Stir and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve into another bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of Amarillo chili paste (or regular chili paste) and mix well.
