Nearly 7 years ago, my niece Dhale visited us from Saipan before heading to Oregon for college. During her visit, we toured, ate, and cooked! One dish I learned to make was Kelaguen.
Kelaguen is a Chamorro dish from the Mariana Islands eaten as a side dish or as a main course. Like ceviche, a pickling marinade of lemon juice, fresh coconut, green onions, salt, and spicy hot peppers. It is served cold or at room temperature and eaten as is, over rice or wrapped in a warm corn or flour tortilla (or the Chamorro version, titiyas).
