SNAPPER A LA VERACRUZANA
In Cuba we used to eat this type of fish a lot. Chef Norman Van Aken, owner of Norman's restaurant here in Miami, is the creator of this recipe, he prepares snapper in the syle of Veracruz, Mexico and has added raisins. Calraisins.org is where I found this wonderful snapper recipe. In Cuban dishes they use raisins quite often, mixing the sweet with the savory.
