Executive Chef Neftalí Ponce Unveils New Ceviche at Vidanta Puerto Peñasco



23 September, 2016 Written by Digital
You can now try Chef Neftalí's unique, Mexican take on ceviche.
Ceviche at Balché restaurant is served beachside in a pig molcajete.

Resident Iron Chef Neftalí Ponce is bringing his signature style and inventiveness to bear with three variations of a brand-new ceviche recipe for guests of Vidanta Puerto Peñasco to enjoy.

Ceviche may have originated in Peru, but many consider it to have been perfected here in Mexico. The huge variety of fish and seafood available off the coasts makes Mexican ceviche diverse and exciting, and chefs incorporate traditional local ingredients like green chilies, cilantro, and rich red tomatoes. Chef Neftalí’s decided to innovate even further with his new ceviche, unlike any other dish in Mexico.

From the moment the plate hits the table, guests can tell they’re in for something special. The dish—which Neftalí has named Aguachile Sonorense—is a deep rich red, and the savory smell of roast chilies and garlic blends perfectly with the sharp tang of citrus. The meal’s unique flavor profile lends itself to a variety of proteins, including scallops and shrimp. Served chilled—as it must be—and accompanied by a side of fresh avocado and fine salsas, Aguachile Sonorense is truly a delight to taste. Chef Neftalí recommends a cold lager or refreshing michelada to accompany.

Guests can enjoy the delectable Aguachile Sonorense at Ola Mulata or Balché (shrimp only), or learn to make their own in our ceviche cooking class! Held every Friday at 2pm, Joy Squad will teach guests how to make the perfect ceviche in their home kitchens.
