Kingfish Escabeche With Avocado Recipes

Steps:

• Have the Kingfish cut in round fish steaks. Salt them on both side and dredge in flour fry in oil until golden on both sides. Remove to a platter and set aside.
• The Escabech Sauce, first heat your olive oil and add the mashed garlic, parsley,and saute do not let your garlic brown or it will make your sauce turn bitter. Keep flame a medium low. Next add your carrots, onions, elephant garlic and peppers continue to saute until the veggies are just a little limp. Next add the wine and stir well. Then add the olives and the capers. Stir again
• Next add the all the tomato sauce, stir and then add the seasonings, Salt, oregano, rosemary, cumin, Goya sazon, bay leafs, peppercorns, cayanne pepper, coriander, and the ground black pepper, and continue to cook for about four mintues. Now add the vinegar stir and the lemon slices. Last add the one cup of ketchup. stir well. continue to cook the sauce medium low flame for five minutes. Taste to see if it has enough salt. I like to sprinkle a little garlic powder over the sauce even though I do not show it above. Stir well.
• Now in a large ceramic deep pot such as a large crock pot ladle a good amount of sauce with veggies then put a layer of fish then ladle some more sauce with veggies over the fish and add another layer of fish then more sauce until you are done. You shoud have some sauce left over to cover the fish. then cover crock pot and put on low for 1 hour only. No more then that. After one hour uncover let cool then cover and put into refrigerator overnight. Next day serve cold with crackers, wine, and beer. A little word of advise you may want to double the fish because you wont be able to stop eating this. It is so good and It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Season fish with salt and pepper, and dust with flour. Heat a skillet and add canola oil to it. Saute the fish until brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and place in a deep pan.
• Remove some of the canola oil from the saute pan, and lower the heat to low, add all the vegetables and cook until soft and translucent. Add the ketchup and cook 1 more minute.
• Remove from the heat and add all other ingredients, except the avocado. Cover the fish with all ingredients and allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and place in refrigerator for 2 days. Serve with avocado slices.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a plate. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour, tapping off the excess. Put a large skillet over high heat and coat with the canola oil. When the oil is shimmering, lay the fish fillets in the pan and cook until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. You want a good sear, so don't move the fish around, just let it do its thing. Turn the fillets over and sear until just about cooked through, 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to an 8 × 8-inch baking dish. Scatter the carrot, onion, and bell pepper on top of the fish and set aside.
• Put a small pot over medium heat and add the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the agave, mustard seeds, bay leaf, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. When the mixture reaches a boil, pour it over the fish and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. If chilling, bring to room temperature before serving.
• To serve, discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Divide the fish among 4 small plates and spoon the vegetables and the marinade on top. Scatter some chunks of avocado on top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with cilantro leaves.
• Toasting Spices
• Put the spices in a dry skillet. Set over medium-low heat and toast, shaking the pan so the spices don't scorch, for just a minute to release the fragrant oils.
• Avocados
• Living in Miami, I often use Florida avocados, which are really large, easily four times the size of Hass avocados, with a smooth green skin. Most people think they have no flavor, but I find that while they're not as creamy and rich as Hass, they possess subtle nuances of flavor-plus they're less expensive! Because avocados can vary greatly in size, I call for cup measurements in the recipes.

Steps:

• In a non-metallic bowl, mix the lime juice, spring onions, tomato paste, oregano, tomatoes and chilli. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, then cover with cling film. (This mixture can now be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.)
• Defrost the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper. Just before serving, peel and cube the avocados. Add to the sauce with the prawns and coriander and mix well. (This can be done up to 3 hours ahead.)
• Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and arrange them over a serving platter. Spoon the prawns and juice into the cup-shaped leaves and serve with crisp ready-cooked poppadums.
