How to prepare Fish Tacos

Fish Tacos







Yield : 4 to 6 serving
Time :  30 minutes


Fish tacos, that extraordinary feast of the Baja Peninsula, and a sample of summer.

 They are easy to make, not any more muddled truth be told than a cheeseburger or a wreck of hotcakes, and they are impressively more delightful. 

Seared in strips and served installed warm corn tortillas with a straightforward salsa, a touch of new cabbage, a lot of lime and a cream sauce you should punch up with a few cleaved chipotle, these fish tacos can transform a cool night into bluebird summer, moving you from chill into profound mugginess and delight.


INGREDIENTS 


  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut crosswise into half moons (optional)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 limes, 1 halved and 1 cut into wedges
  •  Kosher salt
  •  Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canned chipotle pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  • ½ cup flour, preferably Wondra or other fine-milled flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup peanut oil, plus a splash more for greasing pan
  •  Pat of butter
  • 1 pound flounder or any firm white-fleshed fish, cut across the grain of the flesh into strips about 1/2 inch wide by 3 inches long
  • 12 6-inch fresh corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  •  A saucy hot sauce, like Tapatio or Frank’s

PREPARATIONS 


Step 1

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño (if using).
  2. Step 2
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Season to taste with the halved lime, salt, pepper and chipotle (if using).
  4. Step 3
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons each of kosher salt and black pepper. Pour the milk into another medium bowl, and place the fish into it.
  6. Step 4
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of the peanut oil into a 12-inch frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Remove the fish pieces from the milk bath and dredge them lightly through the flour mixture, shaking to remove excess. Add the butter to the pan. Place some fish pieces in the oil, without crowding them, and cook until deep golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and cook for 1 minute more. Remove to a warmed, paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  8. Step 5
  9. Meanwhile, lightly grease a skillet with a drizzle of oil and set over medium heat. Heat the tortillas, one or two at a time, until they are soft and hot. Keep them warm, wrapped in a dish towel.
Step 6

  1. Fill each tortilla with 3 pieces of fish, browned side up, followed by tomato salsa and a pinch of cabbage. Drizzle with the cream sauce. Serve 2 to 3 tacos per person, with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side

How to prepare Menemen

 Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) Time :25 minutes Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market.

Drinking Water Crisis in Rural Towns

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
