Fish Escabeche

People talking
Good for lunch, a cold starter, a side dish. I like it atop a big salad. Keeps well in the fridge for almost a week. I've tried many types of fish and prefer tilapia for taste and texture. You can substitute the jalapeño pepper with a half red bell pepper.

I was surprised - I liked it. I had it for lunch on top of baby spinach as a salad. I used pickled jalepeno instead of a fresh one. After tasting it I added a chopped fresh tomato to the salad. I think next time I make it I will use black olives instead of green.Reply
