Peruvian Ceviche (Ceviche Peruano)

"Bote ceviche" as one of my friends called it. ;)
(serves 4 people)

Ingredients:
1 lb of Fresh Sea Bass or Tilapia
2 Peruvian Yellow chilies.
2-3 green lemons
1 medium sized Red Onion
Cilantro, Salt, Pepper (to taste)
2-3 Corns
2-3 Sweet potatoes
3-4 leaves of Lettuce

Preparation:
Cook your sweet potatoes and corn and set aside.
Thinly slice the onion, and set in water with about 1 tea spoon of salt for 1 hour, then drain the water.
After that, slice or cube the fish, add salt and pepper to taste with the lemon juice.
Clean and finely chop the Peruvian chilies (if you do not want it too spicy, remove the veins as well) and mix all together.

To serve:
place a lettuce leave, cut your sweet potatoes, and corn in half and set on the side of the plate and
add the fish in the middle with the lemon juice, add the cilantro on top for decoration.

NOTE:
Do not let it sit for too long, you want to eat it almost right away, the lemon juice will cook the raw fish slightly.
