Ceviche with Leche de Tigre

Ceviche is one of the fastest dishes in this collection to make and one of the least forgiving to get wrong. Raw fish meets citrus and chilli for a matter of minutes, and in that short window the acid firms the flesh, the ají amarillo builds real heat underneath, and the leche de tigre — the ivory, chilli-flecked liquid pooling at the bottom of the bowl — turns from a byproduct into the best part of the dish. Peruvians drink it straight from a shot glass as a hangover cure, and once you’ve made your own, you’ll understand why.

Lomo saltado is the dish that proves Peruvian food and Chinese food have been talking to each other for a century and a half, and the twist that matters here is speed: everything goes into a screaming-hot wok in a strict order, tossed hard and fast, so the beef chars rather than stews and the chips — fried twice, then folded in at the very last second — stay properly crisp instead of turning to mush in the sauce.
