Marinated Mackerel

By Klo | Spanish Food | 26 Apr 2020


 

Helloo! a little history!

HISTORY
In the past, the marinade was used as a method of preserving cooked food, but today it is a highly appreciated recipe that can be made with meat, fish and vegetables.
"escabeche" is a sauce or marinade made with fried oil, wine or vinegar, bay leaves and other ingredients to preserve and make fish and other foods tasty. The marinade is said to be of Spanish origin, although its name comes from the Arabic sikbâg (a Persian dish that they indicate already appeared in "The Thousand and One Nights"), which pronounced sounded like ‘iskebech’ and became a marinade.
In the year 1525 the first writings on the pickle appear in Spain.

RECIPE

 

STEP1: we mark the mackerel for the part that doesn't have skin first

STEP3: We put oil in the pot and add the garlic and once it is fried, remove it, then put the onion in the pot and the garlic is not cooked, add the salt to the onion a little to release the water, then more later in the stew we will rectify the salt again.

STEP5: Let the sweet paprika de la vera sauté together with the onion and garlic. It is important to cook the paprika and very important that it does not burn !!

 

TRICK

So that the sweet or spicy paprika never burns, I recommend adding a little water, so it is diluted and you will never burn the paprika. If it burns it will ruin your plate and you will not be able to eat it.

 

Step6: Now it is time to add the vinegar and reduce it a little. After 3min lower the fire in my case I will set it to (4 of 6 power).
To make the reductions you have to raise the fire, at least this time for this dish, other times we want it to reduce slowly.
Add the water to cover the mackerel, the bay leaf and correct the salt, cover the pot and leave 7min over medium-high heat

STEP7: enjoy!
