CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA



Caribbean Fish With Mango Salsa image

Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 medium pineapple, peeled cored, and cut into small dice (about 2 cups)

fresh ground black pepper
6 boneless chicken breasts (pounded lightly to about 3/4 inches thick) or 6 turkey breast cutlets
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil or 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • MAKE THE SPICE RUB:.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, salt, ginger, and turmeric.
  • MAKE THE SALSA:.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the pineapple, radishes, bell pepper jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoons each kosher salt and pepper.
  • Let stand while you grill the meat.
  • Before serving, adjust the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • PREPARE THE FIRE AND THE MEAT:.
  • Build a hot charcoal fire or heat a gas grill with all burners on high for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the grill heats, lightly coat both sides of the pork chops, chicken breasts, or turkey cutlets with the oil and rub with the spice rub.
  • Clean the hot grate with a wire brush; oil the grate.
  • Grill the meat (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) over direct heat on the hottest part of the grill, taking care not to crowd the meat.
  • Cook until the meat forms impressive grill marks on one side, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Turn and continue to grill (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas) until the meat is just firm to touch and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for turkey cutlets; 3 to 4 minutes for pork chops and chicken breasts, depending on their thickness. (If grilling pork, watch out for flare-ups.)
  • Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with the paired salsa spooned alongside or over the meat.
  • Drink Suggestions.
  • If you're grilling chicken or turkey, try a crisp, fruity New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, like the Kim Crawford Marlborough. If you grill pork, try a fruity red, like the Rosemount Estate Diamond Label Shiraz-Grenache.

CARIBBEAN SALMON WITH MANGO-VEGGIE SALSA AND GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE



Caribbean Salmon with Mango-Veggie Salsa and Guava Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
8 ounces guava paste, cut into chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 whole star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for greasing the baking dish
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes), plus 2 limes cut into wedges for serving
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 mangoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1 green bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 large red onion, halved and finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped, optional
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 whole side salmon, 3 1/2 to 4-pounds

Steps:

  • To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cooking until it's soft and a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder. Simmer until the guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Discard the star anise, transfer the mixture to your blender and puree. With the motor running add the lime juice and rum. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the mangoes, peppers, red onions, chiles and cilantro and toss to coat. Add the beans and gently toss everything together.
  • Heat your broiler to high. Line a large flameproof baking dish or rimmed flameproof baking sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil and grease the foil with some olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish and tuck about 2 inches of the tail-end under the fish, so you have a somewhat uniform shape. Pour the barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook it under the broiler until the sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges and the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes for rare (the salmon will still be pink in the middle) or 12 to 15 minutes for well done (the salmon will be cooked throughout).
  • Spread the salsa on the serving platter and carefully lift the salmon out of the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa (use 2 large spatulas to transfer it). Squeeze a few lime wedges over the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.

CARIBBEAN PORK WITH AVOCADO-PINEAPPLE SALSA

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

  • Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, coating it evenly.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CARIBBEAN ROOT MEDLEY MASH, SOFRITO RUM REDUCTION AND CREOLE FRUIT SALSA



Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Caribbean Root Medley Mash, Sofrito Rum Reduction and Creole Fruit Salsa image

In this twist on the same old chicken and potatoes, I showcase the wide array of root vegetables used in Caribbean cuisine-it's not just rice and beans. I stuff chicken breasts with a mash consisting of a medley of vegetables: pumpkin, taro and Cuban or tropical sweet potatoes (auyama, yautia and batata). Big island flavors appear from sofrito and rum in the sauce while a fresh fruit salsa of pineapple, mango and papaya with guarapo (pineapple vinegar) provides a bright finish. This complete meal is an ode to growing up in the United, but a piece of my heart and stomach always lives on the island.

4 ounces taro (yautia) or yuca, peeled, rinsed and medium diced
4 ounces Cuban or tropical sweet potatoes (batata), peeled and medium diced
2 cups low-sodium organic vegetable broth
Fine sea salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
4 organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cleaned and trimmed
1 tablespoon sazón with culantro and achiote (see Cook's Note)
4 tablespoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons organic sofrito, such as Loisa
Fine sea salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons avocado oil

Steps:

  • For the creole fruit salsa: Combine the pineapple, mango, papaya, red onion, lime juice or pineapple vinegar, cayenne pepper or Tajín, orange zest, mint leaves and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Toss until well combined and set aside for serving.
  • For the Caribbean root medley mash: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place the garlic on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Roast until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Pop the roasted garlic out of the peel and discard the peel. Leave the oven on for your chicken breasts!
  • Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin, taro, sweet potatoes and vegetable broth in a stockpot. Season with salt, cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until all the vegetables are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the vegetables.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chopped red onions and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or large bowl. Add the root vegetables, butter, cream, cilantro, paprika and roasted garlic to the onions. Process or mash with a potato masher to your desired consistency but still thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set the mash aside.
  • For the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally and open each one like a book. Sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of the sazón and 1 tablespoon of the dried oregano. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sofrito on each breast. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 cup of the mash in the center of each butterflied breast and tie with kitchen twine to enclose the stuffing.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once your skillet is very hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook until seared, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170 degrees F, about 20 minutes. (If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, bake the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet.) Remove the twine, slice each chicken breast into 3 rounds and set aside.
  • For the sofrito rum reduction: While the chicken is in the oven, heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and garlic paste and cook, stirring quickly, for 30 seconds, then add the sofrito. Stir to combine. Add the honey and oregano sprigs and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by one-fourth, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until reduced to your desired consistency. Remove and discard the oregano sprigs.
  • For serving: Place the chicken on a plate and add some of the reduction and 1/2 cup of the salsa on the side. Garnish with lime zest and edible flowers, if using.
