Steps:
- First, prepare the escabeche by heating a large sized saucepan to stovetop medium heat. Pour in a little olive oil to sauté. Throw in the chopped white onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper when the pan is ready.
- Sauté the mixture for 3-5 minutes while continuously stirring. Slowly pour in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Toss in the spanish olives, bay leaves, salt, and the black peppercorns.
- Stir the mixture around and reduce the heat to simmer. Set aside for 45 minutes. Heat a medium frying pan to medium-high heat. Cover the bottom of the frying pan with oil for frying.
- Season the king fish steaks with adobe seasoning, salt & pepper, and squeeze half of the lemon onto both sides of the fish. Slowly put each king fish steaks into the pan, and fry each side for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to not over fry the fish. It should be golden on the outside, while making sure the fish meat is still soft.
- Place king fish steaks into a small-medium sized glass container. Pour escabeche sauce over the fish and cover the container with a tightly sealed lid. Place in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours for pickling process. Before eating, let fish thaw to room temperature.
KEY WEST SHRIMP ESCABECHE
Steps:
- For the marinade: Combine coconut milk, lime juice, salt, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and mix well.
- For the escabeche: Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Grill the tomatillos until well caramelized and soft, then chop. Grill the corn in the husks, then shuck and slice kernels from the cobs. (Keep the grill on.)
- Place shrimp in a bowl and sprinkle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place shrimp on the grill and cook until caramelized and pink but still not cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pull from grill and let cool. Carefully slice shrimp lengthwise down the back. Add shrimp to a large bowl, then add the tomatillos, corn, chiles, cilantro, onion and marinade. Mix thoroughly and immediately serve.
KINGFISH ESCABECHE WITH AVOCADO
Escabeche is a classic Spanish preparation in which you sear fish or meat, then marinate it in a vinegar sauce until it's sort of pickled. Unlike ceviche, which is raw fish "cooked" by citrus juice, escabeche is cooked first. The bracing and acidic vinegar cuts through oily fish such as kingfish (also called king mackerel), herring, or bonito just perfectly. This super simple dish makes a light, flavorful starter that wakes up the taste buds and hits the spot on a hot day.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a plate. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour, tapping off the excess. Put a large skillet over high heat and coat with the canola oil. When the oil is shimmering, lay the fish fillets in the pan and cook until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. You want a good sear, so don't move the fish around, just let it do its thing. Turn the fillets over and sear until just about cooked through, 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to an 8 × 8-inch baking dish. Scatter the carrot, onion, and bell pepper on top of the fish and set aside.
- Put a small pot over medium heat and add the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the agave, mustard seeds, bay leaf, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. When the mixture reaches a boil, pour it over the fish and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. If chilling, bring to room temperature before serving.
- To serve, discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Divide the fish among 4 small plates and spoon the vegetables and the marinade on top. Scatter some chunks of avocado on top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with cilantro leaves.
- Toasting Spices
- Put the spices in a dry skillet. Set over medium-low heat and toast, shaking the pan so the spices don't scorch, for just a minute to release the fragrant oils.
- Avocados
- Living in Miami, I often use Florida avocados, which are really large, easily four times the size of Hass avocados, with a smooth green skin. Most people think they have no flavor, but I find that while they're not as creamy and rich as Hass, they possess subtle nuances of flavor-plus they're less expensive! Because avocados can vary greatly in size, I call for cup measurements in the recipes.
MARINATED CHICKEN - POLLO EN ESCABECHE
Got this one from "THE SPANISH COOKBOOK" by Barbara Norman (c)1969 and I thought I would share it as a wonderful option for those warm days when hot food just doesn't sound good. The recipes states it was provided by the owner of the Restaurant Gayango in Madrid, and was adapted by him from the marinade hunters use to preserve partridge when many are bagged at once. A most convenient pre-prepared dish to have on hand for a hot day, it will keep for days or weeks.

ESCABECHE CASA DEL SOL (MARINATED VEGETABLES)
This recipe appeared in Cooking Light magazine as a vegetable salsa to serve as an appetizer or with chips. I love the pickled jalapenos and carrots that are served in some of the Mexican restaurants here in Texas and this recipe sounds very close; except that it also includes jicama, zucchini and cauliflower. This dish takes some time to prepare; however, the recipe states that it should last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but should be served at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place peppercorns, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and bay leaves on a triple layer of cheesecloth. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth together, and tie securely. Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate the cloves), trim about 1/4 inch from top of garlic. Combine the garlic, carrot, oil and onions in a Dutch oven. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Stir vegetables, add spice bag to onion mixture. Bake an additional 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Peel garlic cloves, place garlic, vegetables and spice bag in a large bowl.
- Drain jalapenos over a bowl, reserving liquid. Place the dutch oven over medium-high heat; stir in the reserved jalapeno juice and vinegar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add water, and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and jicama; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add cauliflower mixture, jalapenos, and zucchini to vegetable mixture. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Discard spice bag, cover and store in refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a large, well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high heat. Pat fish dry. Working in batches if necessary, cook in a single uncrowded layer until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn, and cook until second side is brown and fish flakes under firm pressure, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate, and set aside. Discard oil from pan.
- Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining tablespoon oil. When hot, add onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and carrots are almost soft, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine cloves and black pepper in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder, and process until coarsely ground. Add to vegetables, along with stock, vinegar, bay leaves, thyme, and cinnamon. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Taste; season with salt (about 3/4 teaspoon), and stir in jalapeno strips.
- To serve warm, lay fillets over simmering escabeche, cover, and gently heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place one fillet on each of six plates, and spoon some of the escabeche over each one. Garnish with sprigs of thyme. To serve cool, arrange fish on a deep serving platter, and spoon escabeche over. As it cools to room temperature, the fish and vegetables will absorb much of the liquid.
