Escabeche

  • 1 fish large enough for 2 servings
  • 1 – 1/2 tsps salt
  • 3 tbsps fat
  • 2 cm cube ginger
  • 3 tbsps vinegar
  • 1 medium sized onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 – 1/2 tbsps brown sugar
  • 4 tbsps water
 

Prepare the fish for cooking. It may be left whole, or it may be sliced into sizes suitable for serving. Rub 1 tsp. of the salt on the fish and allow to stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile scrape off the outer thin covering of the ginger, wash and cut into thin strips. Cut the onion and the garlic into very thin slices. Fry the fish until done and slightly brown – about 15 minutes. Remove it from the frying pan. In the remaining fat, fry the garlic, the onion and the ginger for about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, water, sugar and the remaining salt and bring the mixture to a boiling point. Add the fish to the mixture and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Escabeche may be served hot or cold depending on one's preference.
