Ceviche De Los Andes Recipe

Food Republic May 30, 2012

This ceviche recipe comes from Argentina (sometimes they take a break from grilling cow), penned by Chef Noelia Scquizziato of Terrazas de los Andes winery in Argentina’s northern Salta province. The recommended pairing is a Torrontés, a fruity, acidic and crisp white — ideal for summer if you’re interested in brushing up on your obscure varietals. The wine complements the exotic and spicy flavors of this shrimp and scallop-based ceviche. Find a bottle of this aromatic nectar and get your ceviche on!
