Whole Tilapia Escabeche

Course Main Dish
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Coleson's Catch Whole Tilapia
  • Flour
  • Oil
  • 1 pc Yellow Onion
  • 1 pc Green Bell Pepper
  • 1 pc Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Thyme
  • 2 Tbsp Vinegar
  • 1/4 c Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 c White Wine
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the fish, pat dry.
  • Score the fish on both sides with a deep "tick- tac-toe" cut.
  • Season with salt and pepper and coat with flour.
  • Saute in oil until very crispy; dry it out on purpose so that the juice you put on it soaks into the meat. Set aside.
  • Saute the onions and peppers until limp-add all other items, bring to a boil.
  • Place the fish in a baking dish and cover with the onion mixture-cover and bake until tender-15-20 minutes.

Notes

Traditionally this dish is made ahead of time and served cold or at room temp. I like it hot, warm or cold. It is a kind of casual picnic item served with a hearty bread.
