Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound cod or halibut (, or other mild white fish)
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
8-10 ounces Mexican beer (, such as Modelo or Pacifico)
1 quart canola oil
20 small corn tortillas (, 4 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter)
1/2 head green cabbage (, finely slivered)
1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 limes
kosher salt
pico de gallo

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into 3 inch X 1/2 inch pieces, about the size of a middle finger. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch and baking powder with the yellow mustard and 8 ounces of beer. Add more beer 1 tablespoon at a time until the batter is the consistency of pancake batter. Press out any clumps with the back of a spoon.
  • Heat the oil to 350°-375°F, using a candy or frying thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • One at a time, dredge each piece of fish in the batter, fully coating each piece and shaking off the excess, then gently sliding each filet into the hot oil. Work in batches to not overcrowd the pot. Use a splatter guard or place a lid half way over the pot to avoid oil splashes. Turn the pieces of fish in the oil and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden on all sides. Transfer to the paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining fish pieces.
  • While the fish is cooking, mix the Mexican crema, mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lime and 1-2 pinches of kosher salt in a small bowl. Transfer to a squeeze bottle if desired and set aside.
  • Heat a dry, non-stick skillet over medium high heat and warm the tortillas on both sides. In batches, dunk the drained fried fish back into the hot oil and cook for 30 seconds until warmed through and crisped on the outside.
  • Stack two tortillas together then add some cabbage and a few spoonfuls of pico de gallo and top with a pice of fish. Drizzle with the white cream sauce and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 12 papadzules

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups (657ml) water
2 large leafy stems of epazote
1 scant teaspoon sea salt
8 ounces (225g) hulled raw pumpkin seeds, about 1 2/3 cups (313ml)
12 freshly made, warm corn tortillas, 5 to 5 1/2 inches (13-14cm) in diameter
5 large hard-cooked eggs, shelled, roughly chopped, and salted
For serving:
1 cup (250ml) salsa
2 large hard-cooked eggs, white and yolks separated and finely chopped
12 epazote leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Have ready a warmed, not hot, serving dish or warmed individual dishes.
  • Put the water, epazote, and salt into a small pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Spread the pumpkin seeds in a thin layer over the bottom of a large skillet and heat through gently over low heat, turning them over from time to time. The seeds will swell, but take care not to let them become even slightly golden or the sauce will lose its fresh green color. You might want to keep a lid handy because often some of the seeds will start jumping out of the pan. Spread the seeds onto a metal tray to cool completely before grinding to avoid the blades seizing up with the volatile oil.
  • Using an electric coffee/spice grinder, grind a portion of the seeds at a time to a slightly textured consistency, 5 to 6 seconds. If the seeds are ground too fine, then it will be more difficult to extract the oil.
  • Have a small glass bowl ready for the oil.
  • Put the ground seeds onto a plate that has a slight ridge around the rim. Measure out 1/4 cup (63ml) of the epazote broth and little by little sprinkle it - don't, for goodness' sake, pour the whole lot - over the seeds and work it with your hands, first having put the telephone on automatic answering. Gradually add the liquid until you have a crumbly but cohesive paste.
  • Tilt the plate a little to one side and put a folded cloth underneath to hold it in that position. Start squeezing the paste and you will see that drops of oil will begin to extrude. Add a little more warm liquid if necessary - you probably won't need the whole amount - and keep squeezing until you have collected almost 4 tablespoons of dark green oil. (This is pure vitamin E, and great for the hands.) Crumble the paste into a blender jar, add the remaining strained epazote broth, if desired, and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the sauce to a skillet and warm through over the lowest possible heat, stirring almost constantly because the starch content of the seeds begins to swell and the particles tend to coagulate in the bottom of the pan.
  • Dip one of the warm tortillas into the sauce: it should be lightly covered. If the sauce is too thick, dilute it with a little extra warm water. Work as quickly as you can, dipping each tortilla into the sauce, holding it with tongs but supporting it with a spatula so you don't get left with a bit of broken tortilla in your tongs. Sprinkle some of the chopped egg across one-third of the tortilla, roll it up, and place it on the warmed dish.
  • When all the papadzules are assembled, pour the remaining sauce over them. (If the sauce has thickened and become grainy looking, put it back into the blender with a little extra warm water and blend until smooth.) Now pour on the tomato sauce and sprinkle the chopped egg whites and yolks. Decorate with the optional epazote. As a final touch, spoon in little pools of the oil. Serve immediately or the oil will sink back into the sauce and all that work will have been for naught! Of course, it is more colorful and attractive to serve the papadzules together on one serving dish.
