Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes and choclo pieces; cook until just tender, 12–14 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    While the vegetables cook, cube the fish into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in a bowl with red onion slices.

  3. Step 3

    Pour lime juice over the fish and onion. Stir gently and let sit for 8–10 minutes until the fish turns opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the ají amarillo paste into the ceviche until evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Plate the ceviche in bowls. Arrange sweet potato and choclo on the side. Sprinkle cilantro over everything and serve immediately.
