Pickles with Fish
Slice your tindora and place in a glass bowl with not too much extra room. In a glass saucepan, grind mustard seed, coriander seed, salt and sugar to taste. I don't like too much sugar, but that's up to you. Add vinegar (white or cider - experiment with what you like!) and warm over medium heat until all the salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in some sliced Serrano peppers, for heat. Now, pour this over your tindora (should be enough to cover) and seal the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for a couple of days, then enjoy. Having made all these pickles, the question arises - what on earth do I do with them? The other night I came up with a surprisingly tasty solution. Layering different fresh (and pickled) ingredients, this dish is full of contrasts - temperatures, textures, and flavors - and made for a very satisfying and delicious meal. Healthy too! You can adjust any part of the recipe, from how you do the pickles to the kind of fish, etc., but I do recommend that the pickles be fairly bitter (not too sweet) and a firmer fish, since you don't want it falling apart. I used: Tindora pickles Cook your rice. When that's done and relaxing, fire up the wok with some sesame oil, and toss in your fish with a bit of soy sauce. While the fish is cooking, spoon out a bowl of rice and get out your pickles and avocado. Also, mix about a quarter-cup of sauce: half soy sauce and half mirin, with a splash of oil. When the fish is ready, quickly dice your avocado (don't do this ahead of time, or it will brown), and make a bowl of rice. On top of the warm rice, put the cold pickles, hot fish, and room-temperature avocados and sauce. Serve immediately. Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsPost a comment |
