Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole head garlic, split into cloves, cloves left unpeeled
24 whole habanero chiles (about 6 ounces; 170g) (see note)

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER



Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper image

Xec (pronounced "shek") is a sweet, sour, juicy citrus salsa from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it makes a brilliant match with almost any kind of fish, cooked almost any kind of way. The combination here - orange, grapefruit, lemon - is not traditional to Mayan cooking, nor is it a mandate. Add lime if you have it, a bitter orange if you can find it. Don't skip the minced habanero, though, which adds a bit of heat and yet more flavor. The fish starts on the stove for a few minutes, and is soon moved to the oven to finish cooking, for a total time of less than 10 minutes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 small grapefruit
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 habanero or other chili, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
4 red snapper fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably skin on (and scaled)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
  • Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Habaneros: Opt for ripe habaneros with a vibrant orange or red color and no blemishes. These peppers pack the most flavor and heat.
  • Handle Habaneros with Care: Wear gloves when handling habaneros to prevent skin irritation. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the pepper's heat, can cause burning and discomfort.
  • Roast the Habaneros: Roasting the habaneros enhances their flavor and smokiness. Roast them until the skin blisters and chars, then remove the charred skin before blending.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, add vibrancy and flavor to the salsa. Use ripe, high-quality produce for the best results.
  • Adjust the Heat Level: This recipe provides a medium heat level, but you can adjust it to your preference. Add more habaneros for a spicier salsa or reduce the amount for a milder one.
  • Use a Food Processor or Blender: A food processor or blender makes quick work of blending the salsa ingredients until smooth. However, if you prefer a chunkier salsa, you can chop the ingredients by hand.
  • Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Always taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or habaneros to achieve the desired flavor balance.

Conclusion:

Mayan Salsa Habanera is a vibrant, flavorful, and slightly spicy salsa. It's the perfect condiment to elevate tacos, burritos, nachos, and other Mexican dishes. With its blend of roasted habaneros, fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, garlic, and spices, this salsa brings a unique and authentic Mexican taste to your meals. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or simply looking for a new salsa to try, Mayan Salsa Habanera is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy it as a dip, spread, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
