Author's Notes

Serves 2-3 portions.

Leche del Tigre (or Tiger’s milk) is known as the Peruvian version of Viagra and its aphrodisiac properties are why it is called milk of the tiger since it makes men a “tiger” in the bedroom.

Using the freshest scallop you can find will be the key success factor of this dish.

Freeze the leftover marinade and use it in future ceviche recipes. Keeps in freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 1
To make the Tiger's Milk, put the Garlic (3 cloves) , Fresh Ginger (1 piece) , Red Chili Pepper (1/2) , Fresh Cilantro (3 stalks) , Red Onion (1/4) , Celery (1 stalk) , 3/4 cup of Lime Juice (6) , Water (3 Tbsp) , Salt (to taste) , and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) in a blender, and pulse for 12 seconds on high.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, add Scallops (8 oz) and pour Tiger's Milk over them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
Step 4
Toss the Sweet Potatoes (1 1/2 cups) with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
Step 5
Remove the scallops from the refrigerator and strain, reserving the liquid for plating. Add Red Onion (1/4) , Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp) , Fresh Cilantro Leaves (1 Tbsp) , and roasted sweet potatoes. Mix well.
Step 6
Serve the scallop ceviche in a bowl with some of the ceviche liquid, garnished with coriander leaves. Serve with Tortilla Chips (1 cup) on the side.
