Has anyone had the Ceviche at Miramar in grand Buenaventura hotel?
What is it in there that gives it the tanginess? It isn't lime... Not sure what it is.
Who can help, I want to make it here at home.

Is it Lea and Perrins?? aka Salsa tipo de Ingles?
I haven't been there, but the condiment is frequently used in sauces, meat and fish dishes.

Lee and Perrins? Not sure that's what it is. Wouldn't it stain the fish? The fish was still a brilliant white color.

Maybe you're right, I've used pineapple juice before as marinades and in sauces. I'll try it tonight and see how it comes out.
Thanks!

Miramar Grand Buenaventura Ceviche
Ya, you're right.
I like to try and remake restaurant items at home for the family a lot. I'm no 'ChefChopChop' but I do what I can.
Haha.

Ceviche is traditionally uses citrus juices as the acid to 'cook' the fish. Try oranges, lime, or grapefruit. Also in Mexico is a smaller, sweeter version of a lime called "limas" which may be what's used.
I haven't eaten at Buenaventura's Miramar but I know what belongs in a ceviche.

PVRbeachedwhale - Yes, we know that citrus juices are traditionally used in ceviches, but we're trying to decifer a restaurant's recipe to determine what was used in this specific dish.
If you're in PV still, maybe you could visit Miramar at Grand Buenaventura and let us know what you think is in their ceviche.

I am still in the PV area, but closer to Sayulita.
If I'm there anytime soon, I'll order the ceviche and try to figure it out.

I'm not in Puerto Vallarta anymore, we're back home in Chicago and looking to recreate some of the tastes of Mexico.
I've dissected other recipes before, and like to try to figure them out myself with reasonable success.
If anyone reading this is in PV and going to the Miramar at Grand Buenaventura, maybe they could ask the chef or a waiter.

Ceviche - Miramar Grand Buenaventura
I tried to make a similar ceviche last night using a pineapple juice reduction with peppercorns and white wine vinegar .. similar to the reduction used in a Hollandaise.
While I can't compare it to the original, this added a subtle fruit tang.
Try making your ceviche with this reduction, but be sure to let it cool compeletly first.

Could it be watermelon? Here's a watermelon ceviche recipe that could be just what you're looking for. Let me know if this works, ChicagoTraveler.

Is there any other way to do a ceviche besides with a citrus juice? If someone has an allergy to citric acid, what else can work?
