Fresh Grilled Marlin And Chorizo With Crabalaitos And Corn Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Season marlin with salt and pepper, rub with olive oil. Grill until they just turn white and are firm.
• Heat oil in a wok until very hot. Saute carrots and red cabbage until just limp, add bok choy, Chinese cabbage and onion, saute until warm but crisp, about 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, excluding the olive oil. Slowly add oil in a small stream until the dressing is emulsified. Place vegetables in the center of the plate. Place grilled marlin on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over marlin and around the edge of the plate. Garnish with fresh orange sections.

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano, pimenton, and pepper to taste. Add olive oil and whisk until blended. Place chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag and pour in the vinegar mixture. Seal bag, then shake gently to coat chicken with marinade. Let chicken marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare a fire in a barbecue and let coals burn down until covered with gray ash. Remove chicken from bag with tongs, shaking off excess marinade, and place skin-sides down on grill. Cook, turning as needed, until skin is crispy and meat near bone is no longer pink (cut with a knife to test), about 35 minutes. During last 10 minutes of barbecuing, add chorizo to grill and cook, turning until skin crackles and sausages are hot throughout, about 10 minutes. Cut sausages into portions to serve if necessary.
• Bring the water and salt to boil in a medium saucepan. When water is boiling, stir in pinch saffron. Add the rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is just tender (about 20 minutes).
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, blend vinegar and mustard with a fork. Pour in olive oil in a thin stream, whisking with fork to emulsify. Stir in the peas, bell peppers, parsley, and oregano. When rice is cooked, add it to the bowl and stir well to distribute dressing and ingredients. Let rice cool to room temperature and serve. Or refrigerate up to 1 day, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the poblano with 1 teaspoon olive oil and grill, skin-side down, until charred but still firm, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly; peel and finely chop.
• If using fresh corn, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Mix the corn (if using frozen, add it here), poblano, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion in a bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and begin to brown it as it heats up.
• Meanwhile, toss the corn, jalapenos and onion with the olive oil. Season with the fajita seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook until grill marks form and the vegetables have softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Once the chorizo is browned, after 7 to 8 minutes, drain off all but a couple of tablespoons of the fat. Add the diced cheese, tomatoes and green chiles and chopped green chiles, juices and all. Cook, stirring occasionally, while the cheese melts and everything comes together.
• While the cheese is melting, remove the corn from the cob and dice the onion and jalapenos. Stir the vegetables into the queso.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve immediately with chips or transfer to a crockpot and keep on low until ready to eat.
