Fresh Tuna in Escabeche (pickle)
I went to my favourite fish shop and fell in love with a wonderful piece of fresh tuna. It wasn’t my first choice; in fact I had planned a white fish menu but I might have both: grilled white fish and blue fish in a pickle… or as we say here en escabeche.
This method (Escabeche) works fantastically for all blue fish such as sardines, anchovies, sword fish… and once you have it ready it can last the whole week in the fridge. You can also have rabbit preserved the same way or chicken; just open your mind ;D.
Why is tuna good for you? Well, if you are short on D vitamin, you should add this recipe to your diet and it will help your bones to keep its good health. Vitamin D fixes their calcium.
Eat it warm and it will be delicious, eat it fresh after 2 days and it will be drooling!!!
