PORTUGUESE VINEGAR MARINADE OR SAUCE (MOLHO ESCABECHE) FOR FISH

Portuguese Vinegar Marinade or Sauce (Molho Escabeche) for Fish image

Entered for safe-keeping, as Portuguese cooking fascinates me, and this recipe promises some exciting left-overs. This can be used to marinate fish that has been fried or grilled: refrigerate for 2-3 days in the sauce, then serve. From Ana Patuleia Ortins' "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking." Of course, you can also pour over freshly cooked fish or serve it on the side. Edited 7/06/12 to add smoked paprika as an option.
