Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

15 whole Florida lobsters, split
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 yellowtail snapper, previously scored and marinated in Fresh Mojo, recipe follows (Can substitute any variety of snapper, such as white bass)
Mango Salsa, recipe follows
Garlic Whipped Boniato, recipe follows
4 cups sour orange juice
1 cup rice wine vinegar
4 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 cup chopped garlic
4 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoons black pepper
2 cups diced mango
1/4 cup diced roasted red pepper
1/4 cup cooked black beans
2 bunches cilantro, leaves chopped
1 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 pounds boniato* (See Cook's Note)
1 pound sour cream
1 pound butter
1/2 cup roasted garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  • Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Place both the lobsters and the marinated yellowtail snapper on the grill. Grill over medium heat until the lobsters are white and begin to separate from the shell and the snapper is opaque and no longer mushy (should be soft and slightly firm to the touch).
  • After removing from the grill, divide each yellowtail snapper into 2 servings. Place 1 whole lobster and half a yellowtail snapper on each plate. Top the lobster with the Mango Salsa. Serve with grilled vegetables of your choice and Garlic Whipped Boniato.
  • In a non-reactive dish, combine all ingredients and mix well. Marinate the scored yellowtail snappers in the Fresh Mojo in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve over grilled lobsters. Yield: 15 servings
  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil and then salt the water.
  • Use a paring knife to peel the boniato. Boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients to mixer and then mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and boniato is mashed.

Provided by Jamie Silva

Categories     Marinade     Spices

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head garlic (approx. 10 large cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups sour orange juice* ((naranja agria))
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a mortar and pestle, add the garlic cloves and salt. Mash both until you get a smooth paste.
  • In a large mason jar, add the garlic paste, minced onion, black pepper, oregano, cumin, sour orange juice, and olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake it until well combined. Be sure to shake well before every use.
  • Feel free to taste and adjust seasoning. If you're not a fan of garlic, you can add less (maybe 5 or 6 cloves). This marinade should taste garlicky, fresh, tangy, citrusy, bright, and slightly sour. Never sweet nor spicy.
  • This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of mojo marinade which will last approximately up to 3 weeks in an airtight container/mason jar. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

FISH IN FOIL WITH SWEET ONIONS, TOMATOES, AND MOJO VERDE



Fish in Foil with Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, and Mojo Verde image

Provided by Norman Van Aken

Categories     Fish     Onion     Potato     Tomato     Roast     Snapper     White Wine     Healthy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons pure olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium red onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
One 4-pound snapper, gutted, scaled, and pectoral gill cut out (but tail left on; ask your fishmonger to do this)
1/4 cup Mojo Verde , plus extra for serving if desired
1 pound ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the onions, stirring to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Let cool.
  • Stack two pieces of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap the fish in on top of one another. Fold up the sides of the foil so that it resembles a little boat. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the boat and spread it over the bottom. Lay the potatoes in the boat in one layer, and season with salt and pepper.
  • With a sharp knife, make slashes in one side of the fish about 1 1/2 inches apart, going almost to the bone, and season with salt and pepper. Repeat on the other side of the fish. Lay it on top of the potatoes. Spoon the mojo verde on top of the fish. Lay the tomatoes on top of it and spoon the rest of the mojo on them. Spoon on the caramelized onions. Pour the wine around the fish.
  • Fold the foil over to enclose the fish, crimping the edges to seal and set on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the fish for about 1 hour, or until cooked through (carefully open the foil to check: the fish should flake easily when tested with a fork); cooking times can vary significantly depending on the thickness and type of fish. (The baked fish can be kept warm, and still retain its moisture, for up to 30 minutes if kept wrapped.)
  • Serve with lemon wedges and, if you like, extra mojo verde on the side.
  • Recommended wine: A wine with soft acidity and sweetness, such as a Vouvray or an American Pinot Blanc.
