Ceviche is just seafood marinated in freshly squeezed citrus juice. The fresh citrus acid actually cures the seafood in the similar way as salt cures ham or Lox. Peru claims the birthplace of Ceviche but Ecuador, Panama and Mexico inspired many unique preparations. My version is inspired by the fresh, local ingredients on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Fresh, sweet scallops pair perfectly with spicy chili oil and the thin radish adds that crunch! It’s a delicious way to spend a sunny summer afternoon at home.
