Ceviche de Banana

Ceviche is the national dish of Peru. It is prepared on the coast with raw, freshly caught fish and is therefore not eaten in the evening. The dish also exists in other Latin American countries such as Chile, Ecuador and Colombia and dates back to the time before the conquest. In the meantime, vegan variants are spreading. For example, there is mango ceviche, palm heart ceviche, bean ceviche or plantain ceviche. They usually only have the sauce in common with the original. Many of these vegan variants are cooked because, for example, plantains and beans are inedible raw.
