PESCADO ESCABECHE

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the market white fish with salt and black pepper. Sear the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Make the Escabeche

    In the same skillet, add garlic, red onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Combine and Marinate

    Add the white vinegar to the skillet along with the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Stir well and return the seared fish to the skillet, breaking it into large chunks. Allow everything to simmer together for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Warm the tortillas and serve the pescado escabeche topped with pico de gallo.
