Courtesy of Cocina Cubana/Sonia Martinez/ Pascual Perez. Escabeche is actually pickled fish. It differs from ceviche in that escabeche is cooked & ceviche is raw fish cooked in the lime juices. Really very good after 1 or 2 days - the fish will keep for 7 days.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs swordfish or 3 1/2 lbs fresh tuna, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
2 large green peppers, sliced
1 large red pepper, sliced
1 cup pimento stuffed olive, sliced
1/2 cup capers
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, to cover above ingredients
Directions:
1. Dredge the fish slices through flour.
2. Fry them at medium-high heat.
3. Place them on layers of paper towels to drain.
4. Saute sliced onions & peppers in the same oil as the fish (strain the oil first, if necessary).
5. Place the fish, sauteed onions, peppers, olives, capers, salt, pepper and paprika in a glass or ceramic bowl only. DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL!
6. Cover the ingredients with equal parts olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
7. Refrigerate overnight.
8. Keeps for 7 days or more.
