Anchovy Ceviche-like: A version of Kinilaw na dilis

A typical ceviche is usually cooked by marination using lime, calamansi or vinegar. Like the Filipino dish, anchovy ceviche, fire is not even used to attain the savory fish flavor. However, my ceviche was produced using a different cooking technique.

Instead of marinating the anchovy, I used fire to cook it. Good for this cold or rainy season so I'm serving it with heat. Warmth to your palate and to your heart. Enjoy!
