Do you do 'Taco Tuesday' in your household? Ours is not every week, but we do love our tacos. I enjoy repurposing leftovers into tacos such as my Duck-os (Leftover Duck + Tacos). And in recent weeks Spiced Smashed Potato Tacos with Homemade Purple Corn Tortillas have made a showing because Jake eats plant-based during the week. But when I had some fresh local black cod this week, I decided to make some fresh fish tacos. And I always have homemade kimchi in my fridge, so I went with an Asian-spiced fish.

I used the Winter Ambrosia vinegar from The Quail & Olive* which has become my go-to for a tart, but bright vinegar; plus it balances the saltiness of soy sauce nicely.

Ingredients serves 4 with leftovers

Fish
  • 1 to 2 pounds fish, deboned and cut into pieces (I prefer two-bites versus smaller chunks)
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Winter Ambrosia vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Sriracha, depending on level of heat desired
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil (I used the Doctor's Blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Avocado-Sriacha Mayo

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 1 teaspoon Winter Ambrosia vinegar
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Sriracha, depending on level of heat desired

For Serving
Procedure

Fish
Whisk together marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add in the fish and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. Make the mayo sauce while the fish marinates.

To cook, heat a grill or grill pan and cook until firm to the touch and completely opaque. Usually, I cook it for 4 to 5 minutes, skin-side down. Then, I flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Avocado-Sriacha Mayo
Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl until well-combined. It ends up looking a little like creamy guacamole. Set aside.

For Serving
Scoop some kimchi onto your tortilla. Place fish on top of the kimchi. And top with avocado sauce. Serve immediately.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
